Charging memory cells involves selecting memory cells and carrying out refresh process only for selected memory cells; memory cells can be selected by area of memory

摘要

The method involves supplying the memory cells (14) with electrical charge at defined time intervals during a refresh process. Memory cells are selected and the refresh process is only carried out for the selected memory cells. The memory (15) is divided into defined areas of memory cells, an area is selected and a refresh process carried out only for the cells in this area. Independent claims are also included for the following: a memory component with a memory field.
