  • Non-volatile digital memory including thin film resistors
    Patent number: 9460789
    Abstract: A non-volatile digital memory includes: a plurality of thin film resistors; and a control circuit adapted to: program, during a first programming phase, the thin film resistors with a plurality of bits of data by passing a current through at least one of the thin film resistors to reduce its resistance; and read, during a restoration phase, the plurality of bits of data stored by the thin film resistors by generating an electrical signal associated with each thin film resistor and comparing each electrical signal with a reference signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2016
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SAS
