    Abstract: A method of writing a first state or a second state to a memory cell may be provided. Writing the first state to the memory cell may include electrically connecting a first switch in electrical connection to a first end of the memory cell to a first voltage and electrically connecting a second switch in electrical connection to a second end of the memory cell to a fourth voltage to apply a first potential difference to cause formation of the first state in the memory cell. Writing the second state to the memory cell may include electrically connecting the first switch to the second voltage and electrically connecting the second switch to the third voltage to apply a second potential difference to cause formation of the second state in the memory cell.
