    摘要: Line drivers that fit within a specified line pitch. One method of placing line drivers completely underneath a cross point array requires splitting the line driver up so that a portion of the line drivers is on a first side of the cross point array and the other portion is on the opposite side. However, using this technique requires that the width of the drivers is no larger than the width of the memory cells that are being driven. This can be accomplished by stacking transistors such that line drivers fit within a specified line pitch, but are as long as is necessary to include all the necessary circuitry.

    摘要: A programming circuit is provided. As a conductive memory cell is programmed, its resistance changes. The provided programming circuit monitors the changing resistance while programming the memory cell. The programming circuit can be used to only program the memory cell for as long as programming is actually needed. Additionally, the programming circuit can be used to only program the memory cell when it has a value that needs to be changed.

    摘要: Embodiments relate generally to semiconductors and memory technology, and more particularly, to systems, integrated circuits, and methods to implement a memory architecture that includes local bit lines for accessing subsets of memory elements, such as memory elements based on third dimensional memory technology. In at least some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes a cross-point memory array formed above a logic layer. The cross-point memory array includes X-lines and Y-lines, of which at least one Y-line includes groups of Y-line portions. Each of the Y-line portions can be arranged in parallel with other Y-line portions within a group of the Y-line portions. Also included are memory elements disposed between a subset of the X-lines and the group of the Y-line portions. In some embodiments, a decoder is configured to select a Y-line portion from the group of Y-line portions to access a subset of the memory elements.

    摘要: A two-terminal memory array includes a plurality of first and second conductive traces. An address unit operatively applies a select voltage across a selected pair of the first and second conductive traces and applies a non-select voltage potential to unselected traces. A total current flowing in the selected first conductive trace and a leakage current flowing through unselected second conductive traces are sensed by a sense unit in a one cycle or a two cycle pre-read operation. The total and leakage currents can be combined with a reference signal to derive a data signal indicative of one of a plurality of conductivity profiles that represent stored data. The conductivity profiles can be stored in a resistive state memory element that is electrically in series with the selected first and second conductive traces.
