    摘要: A spin-transfer torque memory apparatus and self-reference read schemes are described. One method of self-reference reading a spin-transfer torque memory unit includes applying a first read current through a magnetic tunnel junction data cell and forming a first bit line read voltage, the magnetic tunnel junction data cell having a first resistance state and storing the first bit line read voltage in a first voltage storage device. Then applying a low resistance state polarized write current through the magnetic tunnel junction data cell, forming a low second resistance state magnetic tunnel junction data cell. A second read current is applied through the low second resistance state magnetic tunnel junction data cell to forming a second bit line read voltage. The second bit line read voltage is stored in a second voltage storage device. The method also includes comparing the first bit line read voltage with the second bit line read voltage to determine whether the first resistance state of the magnetic tunnel junction data cell was a high resistance state or low resistance state.

    摘要: Variable write and read methods for resistance random access memory (RRAM) are disclosed. The methods include initializing a write sequence and verifying the resistance state of the RRAM cell. If a write pulse is needed, then two or more write pulses are applied through the RRAM cell to write the desired data state to the RRAM cell. Each subsequent write pulse has substantially the same or greater write pulse duration. Subsequent write pulses are applied to the RRAM cell until the RRAM cell is in the desired data state or until a predetermined number of write pulses have been applied to the RRAM cell. A read method is also disclosed where subsequent read pulses are applied through the RRAM cell until the read is successful or until a predetermined number of read pulses have been applied to the RRAM cell.

    摘要: A method of writing to a resistive sense memory unit includes applying a first voltage across a resistive sense memory cell and a semiconductor transistor to write a first data state to the resistive sense memory cell. The first voltage forms a first write current for a first time duration through the resistive sense memory cell in a first direction. Then the method includes applying a second voltage across the resistive sense memory cell and the transistor to write a second data state to the resistive sense memory cell. The second voltage forms a second write current for a second duration through the resistive sense memory cell in a second direction. The second direction opposes the first direction, the first voltage has a different value than the second voltage, and the first duration is substantially the same as the second duration.
