  • READ, WRITE, AND ERASE CIRCUIT FOR PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY DEVICES
    Publication number: 20070279976
    Abstract: A circuit for writing, reading, and erasing a programmable device is disclosed. The programmable device includes an ion conductor and a plurality of electrodes. Electrical properties of the device are altered by applying a sufficient bias across the electrode to form a conductive region within the ion conductor. The circuit can be used to program and read multiple bits within a single programmable device.

  • PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY DEVICE CIRCUIT
    Publication number: 20070121368
    Abstract: Circuits for writing, reading, and erasing a programmable metallization cell are disclosed. The programming circuits compensate for parasitic capacitance and/or parasitic resistance. The parasitic resistance and/or capacitance is compensated for using a feedback loop or a time current filter. Various circuits also measure a switching speed of the programmable metallization cell.
