ABSTRACT:
A system comprising a storage location to store information representing a timing parameter pertaining to a random access memory device. An integrated circuit device generates a value that is representative of a period of time that elapses between the random access memory device exiting from a power down mode and a time at which the random access memory device is capable of receiving a command. The integrated circuit device generates the value from the information representing the timing parameter pertaining to the random access memory device.
