  • Patent number: 7639522
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of driving a multi-level variable resistive memory device. A method of driving a multi-level variable resistive memory device includes supplying a write current to a variable resistive memory cell so as to change resistance of the variable resistive memory cell, verifying whether or not changed resistance enters a predetermined resistance window, and supplying a write current having an increased or decreased amount from the write current supplied most recently on the basis of the verification result so as to change resistance of the variable resistive memory cell.

  • Publication number: 20090175072
    Abstract: A phase-change random access memory (PRAM) device includes a plurality of banks, a plurality of column redundancy cell arrays, and a plurality of column redundancy write drivers. Each of the plurality of column redundancy cell arrays corresponds to at least one of the banks. Each of the plurality of column redundancy write drivers corresponds to at least one of the column redundancy cell arrays. The column redundancy write drivers are configured to transmit respective redundancy test data to the corresponding ones of the column redundancy cell arrays in response to a test control signal, which may be activated in response to each program pulse for writing data. Related test and access methods are also discussed.
