Abstract:

Methods of operating a number of memory devices are disclosed. A method may include adjusting a count of a refresh address counter of at least one memory device of a number of memory devices such that the count of the refresh address counter of the at least one memory device is offset from a count of a refresh address counter of at least one other memory device of the number of memory devices. The method may also include receiving, at each of the number of memory devices, a refresh command.
