1. A memory module comprising:
an integrated circuit memory device including:
a memory array to store data,
an interface to receive an instruction to exit a power down mode; and
a register to store a value representative of a period of time to elapse between exiting from the power down mode and a time at which the integrated circuit memory device is capable of receiving a command to access the data; and
a storage device to store a plurality of parameter information that pertains to the integrated circuit memory device, the value to be based on at least a first parameter information of the plurality of parameter information.
