2.4.1Refresh Mode
The DDR2 memory controller issues refresh commands to the DDR2 SDRAM memory (Figure 4). REFR is automatically preceded by a DCAB command, ensuring the deactivation of all CE spaces and banks selected. Following the DCAB command, the DDR2 memory controller begins performing refreshes at a rate defined by the refresh rate (RR) bit in the SDRAM refresh control register (SDRCR). Page information is always invalid before and after a REFR command; thus, a refresh cycle always forces a page miss. This type of refresh cycle is often called autorefresh. Autorefresh commands may not be disabled within the DDR2 memory controller. See Section 2.9 for more details on REFR command scheduling.
