Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for operation of correlated electron switch (CES) devices. In one aspect, a CES device may be placed in any one of multiple impedance states in a write operation by controlling a current and a voltage applied to terminals of the non-volatile memory device. In one implementation, a CES device may be placed in a high impedance or insulative state, or two more distinguishable low impedance or conductive states.

Abstract: In a non-volatile memory, a method of performing a sensing operation to read a non-volatile (NV) element includes a first and a second phase. During the first phase, the NV element is coupled via a sense path transistor to a first capacitive element at a first input of an amplifier stage and a reference cell is coupled via a reference sense path transistor to a second capacitive element at a second input of the amplifier stage. During the second phase, the NV element is coupled via the sense path transistor to the second capacitive element and the reference cell is coupled via the reference sense path transistor to the first capacitive element. During the first phase, the first and second capacitive elements are initialized to voltages representative of states of the NV element and reference cell, respectively. During the second phase, the voltage differential between the two voltages is amplified.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention is a hybrid superconducting-magnetic memory cell and array. One embodiment of a memory cell includes a magnetoresistive element and at least one superconducting element wired in parallel with the magnetoresistive element. In a further embodiment, memory cells of the disclosed configuration are arranged to form a memory array.
