Abstract: A phase change memory device with memory cells (2) formed by a phase change memory element (3) and a selection switch (4). A reference cell (2a) formed by an own phase change memory element (3) and an own selection switch (4) is associated to a group (7) of memory cells to be read. An electrical quantity of the group of memory cells is compared with an analogous electrical quantity of the reference cell, thereby compensating any drift in the properties of the memory cells.

Abstract: Methods and systems to refresh a nonvolatile memory device, such as a phase change memory. In an embodiment, as a function of system state, a memory device performs either a first refresh of memory cells using a margined read reference level or a second refresh of error-corrected memory cells using a non-margined read reference level.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for sensing a resistance variable memory cell. A number of embodiments include programming a memory cell to an initial data state and determining a data state of the memory cell by applying a programming signal to the memory cell, the programming signal associated with programming memory cells to a particular data state, and determining whether the data state of the memory cell changes from the initial data state to the particular data state during application of the programming signal.
