Abstract

A data processor that is operable to be coupled to a memory includes a memory operation array, a controller, a refresh logic circuit, and a selector. The memory operation array is for storing memory operations for a first power state of the memory. The controller is responsive to a power state change request to execute a plurality of memory operations from the memory operation array when the first power state is selected. The refresh logic circuit generates refresh cycles periodically for the memory. The selector is for multiplexing the refresh cycles with the memory operations during a power state change to the first power state.
