摘要: Provided is a resetting method of a resistive random access memory (RRAM) including the following steps. A first resetting operation and a first verifying operation on the at least one resistive memory cell are performed. Whether to perform a second resetting operation according to a verifying result of the first verifying operation is determined. A second verifying operation is performed after the second resetting operation is determined to be performed and is finished. To determine whether to perform a healing resetting operation according to a verifying result of the second verifying operation, which comprises: performing the healing resetting operation when a verifying current of the second verifying operation is greater than a predetermined current, wherein a resetting voltage of the healing resetting operation is greater than a resetting voltage of the second resetting operation.

摘要: A synapse system is provided which includes three transistors and a resistance-switching element arranged between two neurons. The resistance-switching element has a resistance value and it is arranged between two neurons. A first transistor is connected between the resistance-switching element and one of the neurons. A second transistor and a third transistor are arranged between the two neurons, and are connected in series which interconnects with the gate of the first transistor. A first input signal is transmitted from one of the neurons to the other neuron through the first transistor. A second input signal is transmitted from one of the neurons to the other neuron through the second transistor and the third transistor. The resistance value of the resistance-switching element is changed based on the time difference between the first input signal and the second input signal.
