Abstract: A read technique for both SLC (single level cell) and MLC (multi-level cell) cross-point memory can mitigate drift-related errors with minimal or no drift tracking. In one example, a read at a higher magnitude voltage is applied first, which causes the drift for cells in a lower threshold voltage state to be reset. In one example, the read at the first voltage can be a full float read to minimize disturb. A second read can then be performed at a lower voltage without the need to adjust the read voltage due to drift.

The pulse may comprise a profile that changes over time from a set point to the holding current level, in response to a discharge of the bit line node capacitance through the memory cell after the set point is achieved. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
