  • Patent number: 8625361
    Abstract: A circuit and a method for controlling the write timing of a non-volatile memory are provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a resistance state switching of at least one memory cell of the non-volatile memory executing a writing operation is monitored to output a control signal. The memory cell stores data states with different resistance states. A write timing is input to the memory cell through a timing control line. Next, the write timing is generated based on a clock signal and the control signal. The write timing is enabled at the beginning of a cycle of the clock signal, and is disabled when the memory cell finishes the resistance state switching.

  • Patent number: RE45035
    Abstract: A verification circuit for a phase change memory array is provided. A sensing unit senses a sensing voltage from a memory cell of the phase change memory array according to an enable signal. A comparator generates a comparing signal according to the sensing voltage and a reference voltage, so as to indicate whether the memory cell is in a reset state. A control unit generates a control signal according to the enable signal. An operating unit generates a first signal according to the control signal, so as to indicate whether the comparator is active. An adjustment unit provides a writing current to the cell, and increases the writing current according to the control signal until the comparing signal indicates that the memory cell is in a reset state.
