Described are apparatuses and methods for improving resistive memory energy efficiency and reliability. An apparatus may include a resistive memory cell coupled to a conductive line. The apparatus may further include a driver coupled to the conductive line to drive current for the resistive memory cell during a write operation. The resistance of the driver may be selectively increased for two or more time periods during the write operation for detecting a voltage change on the conductive line. The current for the write operation may be turned off when the voltage change is detected to improve resistive memory energy efficiency and reliability.

The present invention discloses a write operation method and device for a phase change memory and belongs to the computer field. The method includes: when a phase change memory performs a write operation, generating a corresponding voltage pulse signal according to to-be-written data, and applying the voltage pulse signal to a phase change material included in a phase change storage unit corresponding to the to-be-written data and applying the voltage pulse signal to a voltage divider resistor serially connected to the phase change material; comparing voltage values at both ends of a sampling resistor with a threshold voltage to generate an indicator value; determining, according to the indicator value, whether data that is stored in the phase change storage unit and is corresponding to the indicator value is the same as the to-be-written data; and skipping writing the to-be-written data into the phase change storage unit corresponding to the to-be-written data, if the same; or writing the to-be-written data into the phase change storage unit corresponding to the to-be-written data, if different. In the present invention, delay time of writing data into the phase change storage unit is reduced, thereby improving efficiency of a write operation.

One example disclosed in the application is an electronic data-storage device comprising one or more arrays of memory elements that each includes a data-storage medium that is switched between two different states by application of a switching-inducing force or gradient to the data-storage medium, a top control element and a bottom control element through which the switching-inducing force or gradient is applied, and a feedback signal. The data-storage device also includes an error-control-coding encoder that encodes received data and a READ/WRITE controller that writes encoded data received from the error-control-coding encoder to a number of memory elements by applying the switching-inducing force to the one or more arrays of memory elements until feedback signals indicate that the WRITE operation has completed or until the switching-inducing force or gradient has been applied for a maximum application time.
