Abstract

An integrated circuit system, and a method of operation thereof, including: a memory unit having a volatile memory device with data and a non-volatile controller unit; a memory unit controller of the non-volatile controller unit for receiving a snoop signal for indicating an error; a non-volatile device of the memory unit for synchronously receiving data of the volatile memory device based on the snoop signal, the data autonomously copied without any intervention from outside the memory unit to prevent loss of the data; and an in-band command received by the memory unit, for autonomously restoring the data to the volatile memory device from the non-volatile device without any intervention from outside the memory unit.
