7.7.2.3Refresh Control Register

Figure 7-8 shows the Refresh Control Register. The user may read or write the REN bit at any time to turn the Refresh Control Unit on or off. The lower nine bits contain the current nine-bit down-counter value. The user cannot program these bits. Disabling the Refresh Control Unit clears both the counter and the corresponding counter bits in the control register.
