    摘要: An integrated circuit includes an array of state-change devices, first and second decoder circuits for selecting a particular state-change device. A voltage source is coupled to the first decoder circuit and sense circuitry is coupled to the second decoder to receive an electrical parameter from the selected state-change device and to detect a particular value of the electrical parameter. A control circuit is coupled to the voltage source, the first and second decoders, and the sense circuitry to select a first voltage from the voltage source to alter the selected state-change device and to select a second voltage from the voltage source when the sense circuitry detects the particular value of the electrical parameter.

    摘要: A memory structure includes a memory storage element electrically coupled to a control element. The control element comprises a tunnel-junction device. The memory storage element may also comprise a tunnel-junction device. Methods for fusing a tunnel-junction device of a memory storage element without fusing a tunnel-junction device of an associated control element are disclosed. The memory storage element may have an effective cross-sectional area that is greater than an effective cross-sectional area of the control element. A memory structure comprises a memory storage element, a control element comprising a tunnel-junction device electrically coupled to the memory storage element and configured to control the state of the memory storage element, and a reference element. The reference element is configured as a reference to protect the control element when selectively controlling the state of the memory storage element. The reference element may comprise a tunnel-junction device and be used with a current source to fuse a memory storage element without fusing a tunnel-junction device of an associated control element. Methods of making the memory structure and using it in electronic devices are disclosed.

    摘要: A display element (100) corresponds to a pixel of a display. The display element includes a top electrode (102) connected to a first addressable line of the display, and a bottom electrode (104) connected to a second addressable line of the display. The display element includes a display mechanism (106) situated between the top electrode and the bottom electrode and having a number of individually turned-on steps. Each individually turned-on step has a turn-on voltage threshold at which the step is turned on upon a voltage applied between the top and the bottom electrodes equal to or greater than the turn-on voltage threshold. Each individually turned-on step has a turn-off voltage threshold at which the step is turned off upon a voltage applied between the top and the bottom electrodes equal to or less than the turn-off voltage threshold.
