Yes. Something like that would likely solve the problem entirely. I don't know if it's doable with the current ABI between the memory controller and the memory chips, without adding a bunch of expensive static memory to the controller. It may require a protocol change. Possibly just another wire to signal back to the controller that excessive charge leakage was detected and it needs to do an early full refresh, but even that means basically a new generation of RAM. I'm thinking that either each memory chip gains a few bits per row to store predicted charge leakage (or an actual extra bit designed to leak faster than the main bits, coupled to a detector) or the memory controller would need an array of memory for the maximum supported number of rows. Either one is possible, but a design headache. |
