15–10 — Reserved. These bits are undefined; for compatibility with future devices,
do not modify these bits.
9–0 RC9:0 Refresh Counter Value:
Write the counter value to these ten bits. The interval counter counts
down from this value. When the interval counter reaches one, the control
unit initiates a refresh request (provided it does not have a request
pending). The counter value is a function of DRAM specifications and
processor frequency (see the equation above).
