Automotive electronic control unit reliability and safety during power standby mode

Abstract:

Disclosed are devices and methods for improved operations of a memory device. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising periodically recording memory statistics of a dynamic random-access memory in a device, while the device is in a power on state; detecting a command to enter a standby state; analyzing the memory statistics to determine whether a health check should be performed; powering down the device when determining that the health check should be performed; and placing the device in standby mode when determining that the health check should not be performed.
