Abstract
A method of issuing activate commands to a memory device includes issuing the activate commands to the memory device. A number of activate commands issued within a time period is counted. A determination is made as to whether the number of activate commands issued within the time period exceeds a threshold. The rate at which the activate commands are being issued is lowered if the number of activate commands being issued exceeds the threshold within the time period.
