The default refresh mode is fixed 1X mode where Refresh commands should be issued with the normal rate, i.e., tREFI. The duration of each refresh command is the normal refresh cycle time tRFC.
In 2X mode Refresh commands are issued to the DRAM at the double frequency (tREFI/2).
In 4X mode Refresh commands are issued to the DRAM at the quadruple frequency (tREFI/4).
There is a tRFC value for each mode that comes from the memory specification.

- Timing can be changed to explore optimum row granular refresh (ORGR)
- **Flexible Refresh**
** Refresh modes **
The feature can be used together with regular refresh and also with row
granular refresh (RGR).
Currently the refresh modes available are 1X, 2X, 4X. The default refresh mode
is fixed 1X mode where refresh commands should be issued with the normal rate,
i.e., tREFI. The duration of each refresh command is the normal refresh cycle
time tRFC. In 2X mode Refresh commands are issued to the DRAM at the double
frequency (tREFI/2). In 4X mode Refresh commands are issued to the DRAM at the
quadruple frequency (tREFI/4). There is a tRFC value for each mode that comes
from the memory specification.
The number of refresh commands in a tREFI is multiplied by two in 2X mode and
by four in 4X mode. The maximum number of refresh commands that can be
postponed or pulled-in is affected in the same manner. The number of rows per
refresh command is divided by two and by four in 2X and 4X mode respectively.
**Flexible Refresh**
The feature can be used together with regular refresh, bankwise refresh and
also with row granular refresh (RGR) non-bankwise and bankwise. Combinations
with all refresh modes are possible.
**Pull-In Refresh**
