    摘要: A sense circuit for reading a resistance level of a programmable conductor random access memory (PCRAM) cell is provided. A voltage potential difference is introduced across a PCRAM cell by activating an access transistor from a raised rowline voltage. Both a digit line and a digit complement reference line are precharged to a first predetermined voltage. The cell being sensed has the precharged voltage discharged through the resistance of the programmable conductor memory element of the PCRAM cell. A comparison is made of the voltage read at the digit line and at the reference conductor. If the voltage at the digit line is greater than the reference voltage, the cell is read as a high resistance value (e.g., logic HIGH); however, if the voltage measured at the digit line is lower than that of the reference voltage, the cell is read as a low resistance value (e.g., logic LOW).

    摘要: In one embodiment, a sense amplifier circuit includes two current paths. Each path includes a transistor configured as a current source during a memory read operation and a second transistor. During the first phase of a memory read operation, the first current path is coupled to one cell and the second current path is coupled to a second cell. The sense amplifier circuit includes a capacitor that during a first phase of a memory read operation, is coupled between two corresponding nodes of the two paths to store a voltage difference between the two nodes. During the second phase, the cell/current path couplings are swapped and the capacitor is coupled to the control terminal of one of the second transistors to control the conductivity of the transistor for adjusting a voltage of an output node to indicate the value of the data being read.

    摘要: Memristive computation of a cross product is disclosed. One example is a crossbar array of memory elements that include a number of column lines perpendicular to a number of row lines, a memory element located at each intersection of a row line and a column line. A programming voltage is applied at each memory element to change a resistance value to represent a respective entry in a skew symmetric matrix representing a first vector, and an input voltage is applied along each row line to represent a dimensional component of a second vector. Sensors located at each column line measure output voltages along column lines, where the output voltages are generated by applying input voltages received by memory elements located along the row line to resistance values of the respective memory elements. Differential amplifiers collate the output voltages for pairs of sensors to generate dimensional components of the cross product.

    摘要: A high-speed memory circuit architecture for arrays of resistive change elements is disclosed. An array of resistive change elements is organized into rows and columns, with each column serviced by a word line and each row serviced by two bit lines. Each row of resistive change elements includes a pair of reference elements and a sense amplifier. The reference elements are resistive components with electrical resistance values between the resistance corresponding to a SET condition and the resistance corresponding to a RESET condition within the resistive change elements being used in the array. A high speed READ operation is performed by discharging one of a row's bit lines through a resistive change element selected by a word line and simultaneously discharging the other of the row's bit lines through of the reference elements and comparing the rate of discharge on the two lines using the row's sense amplifier. Storage state data are transmitted to an output data bus as high speed synchronized data pulses. High speed data is received from an external synchronized data bus and stored by a PROGRAM operation within resistive change elements in a memory array configuration.
