    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for controlling current in a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) device. In an embodiment, the NVRAM device may include a plurality of memory cells coupled to a plurality of bit lines forming a bit line node with parasitic capacitance. Each memory cell may comprise a switch device with a required level of a holding current to maintain an on-state of the cell. A voltage supply circuitry and a controller may be coupled with the NVRAM device. The controller may control the circuitry to provide a current pulse that keeps a memory cell in on-state. 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.

    Abstract: Technology for verifying cell programming for a phase change memory array is disclosed. In an example, a method may include sending a reset pulse to a phase change memory cell. The method may further include sensing a threshold voltage of the phase change memory cell in response to applying first and second verify voltages across the phase change memory cell, where the second verify voltage is lower than the first verify voltage. The method may also include determining whether the threshold voltage of the phase change memory cell was below the first or second verify voltages.
