  • MEMORY ELEMENT, MEMORY READ-OUT ELEMENT AND MEMORY CELL
    Publication number: 20070002618
    Abstract: A memory element comprises a resistance element having a first resistance value in a first state and a second resistance value in a second state, it being possible to convert the resistance element from the first state into the second state and from the second state into the first state and the first resistance value and the second resistance value being different, a current generating device, coupled to a first terminal of the resistance element, the current generating device being designed to generate a current with a first amplitude through the resistance element when a predetermined potential is present at a second terminal of the resistance element, in order to convert the resistance element into the first state for setting the first resistance value, or to generate a current with a second amplitude through the resistance element when the predetermined potential is present at the second terminal of the resistance element, in order to convert the resistance element into the second state for setting the se
