    摘要: Structures and methods for controlling operation of a programmable impedance element are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a programmable impedance element can include: (i) receiving a program or erase command to be executed on the programmable impedance element; (ii) selecting an operation algorithm for executing the command, where the operation algorithm is selected from among a plurality of operation algorithms by decoding at least two bits stored in a register; (iii) determining, using the register, a plurality of option variables for the selected operation algorithm, where the option variables are used to set conditions for one or more of a plurality of program and erase operations of the selected operation algorithm; and (iv) executing the command on the programmable impedance element by performing the one or more of the plurality of program and erase operations of the selected operation algorithm.

    摘要: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method of operating a resistive switching device includes applying a signal including a pulse on a first access terminal of an access device having the first access terminal and a second access terminal. The second access terminal is coupled to a first terminal of a two terminal resistive switching device. The resistive switching device has the first terminal and a second terminal. The resistive switching device has a first state and a second state. The pulse includes a first ramp from a first voltage to a second voltage over a first time period, a second ramp from the second voltage to a third voltage over a second time period, and a third ramp from the third voltage to a fourth voltage over a third time period. The second ramp and the third ramp have an opposite slope to the first ramp. The sum of the first time period and the second time period is less than the third time period.
