Periodic reads - Xilinx Virtex6

Hello!



I read that the MPMC memory controller sends automaticly (1us period) periodic read request to the DDR3 module to measure the phase detection.

I don't understand, that if the module is red in every 1us, than why is a refresh logic implemented in the mpmc module? I think with every read the content of a memory cell is refreshed.


In my work I want to measure memory retention time. I have modified the refresh logic of the MPMC module. I have set non JEDEC refresh times, to get memory data loss.


However I tested my system on a Virtex 6 board, and at very large refresh period, the written data in the memory remains, without any loss.


Thank you for the answers!
