Abstract: A ReRAM memory array includes ReRAM memory cells and a select circuit having two series-connected select transistors connected in series with a ReRAM device. When ReRAM memory cell(s) are selected for erasing, the bit line coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) to be erased is biased at a first voltage potential. The source line coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) to be erased is biased at a second voltage potential greater than the first voltage potential, the difference between the first voltage potential and the second voltage potential being sufficient to erase the ReRAM device. The gates of the series-connected select transistors coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) to be erased are supplied with positive voltage pulses. The gates of the series-connected select transistors coupled to the ReRAM memory cell(s) unselected for erasing are supplied with a voltage potential insufficient to turn them on.

Abstract: A method for programming a resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) cell includes passing a first current through the ReRAM device for a first period of time, the first current selected to create a leakage path through the ReRAM device, and after passing the first current through the ReRAM device passing a second current through the ReRAM device for a second period of time shorter than the first period of time, the second current selected to create a current path having a desired resistance through the leakage path through the ReRAM device.

Abstract: A method for erasing a ReRAM memory cell that includes a ReRAM device having a select circuit with two series-connected select transistors. The method includes determining if the ReRAM cell is selected for erasing. If the ReRAM cell is selected for erasing, the bit line node is biased at a first voltage potential, the source line node is biased at a second voltage potential greater than the first voltage potential and the gates of the series-connected select transistors are supplied with positive voltage pulses. The difference between the first voltage potential and the second voltage potential is sufficient to erase the ReRAM device in the ReRAM cell. If the ReRAM cell is unselected for erasing, the gate of the one of the series-connected select transistors having its drain connected to an electrode of the ReRAM device is supplied with a voltage potential insufficient to turn it on.
