  • Patent number: 9368204
    Abstract: The invention concerns a memory device comprising at least one memory cell comprising: a first transistor (102) coupled between a first storage node (106) and a first resistance switching element (202) programmed to have a first resistance; and a second transistor (104) coupled between a second storage node (108) and a second resistance switching element (204) programmed to have a second resistance, a control terminal of said first transistor being coupled to said second storage node, and a control terminal of said second transistor being coupled to said first storage node; and control circuitry (602) adapted to store a data value (DNV) at said first and second storage nodes by coupling said first and second storage nodes to a first supply voltage (VDD, GND), the data value being determined by the relative resistances of the first and second resistance switching elements.

  • Publication number: 20140078810
    Abstract: The invention concerns a memory device comprising at least one memory cell comprising: first and second transistors (102, 104) coupled between first and second storage nodes (106, 108) respectively and a first supply voltage, a control terminal of said first transistor being coupled to said second storage node, and a control terminal of said second transistor being coupled to said first storage node; first and second resistance switching elements (202, 204) coupled in series with said first and second transistors respectively; and control circuitry (308) adapted to apply, during a programming phase of the first resistance switching element, a second supply voltage to said second storage node to active said first transistor, and then to apply said second supply voltage to said first storage node to generate a first write current (IA) through said first transistor and said first resistance switching element.
