    Abstract: A data storage method applying to the phase change memory and a phase change memory are provided. After obtaining to-be-stored data, the phase change memory generates an erase pulse signal and a write pulse signal according to the to-be-stored data. The to-be-stored data is multi-bit data. The write pulse signal is a signal including at least two consecutive pulses with a same amplitude. The amplitude of the at least two consecutive pulses is a value determined according to the to-be-stored data. Then, the phase change memory applies the erase pulse signal to a storage unit of the phase change memory to allow the storage unit to switch to a crystalline state. Further, the write pulse signal is applied to the storage unit to allow the storage unit to switch to an amorphous state corresponding to a first resistance value, where the amorphous state represents the to-be-stored data.

    Abstract: A method for writing data to a storage medium includes: writing data concurrently on n storage units in a first write cycle, counting a quantity k of storage units in which writing succeeds among the n storage units in the first write cycle; and writing, in a second write cycle, subsequent data of the data written to the n storage units to m storage units, in addition to perform write operations on n−k storage units in which writing is not successful, thereby improving efficiency in writing data to the storage medium.

    Abstract: A data storage method applying to a phase change memory and the phase change memory are provided. After obtaining to-be-stored data, the phase change memory (PCM) generates an erase pulse signal and a write pulse signal according to the to-be-stored data. The to-be-stored data is multi-bit data. The write pulse signal includes at least two contiguous pulses. Intervals between the at least two contiguous pulses are the same. The intervals between the at least two contiguous pulses have a value determined according to the to-be-stored data. The PCM applies the erase pulse signal to a storage unit of the PCM to enable the storage unit to change to a crystalline state. Further, the write pulse signal is applied to the storage unit to enable the storage unit to change to an amorphous state corresponding to a first resistance value, where the amorphous state represents the to-be-stored data.

    Abstract: A latch and a D flip-flop, where the latch includes a switch, a resistive random-access memory, a bleeder circuit, and a voltage converter. The voltage converter is configured to output an output signal of the latch according to an input signal of the latch when the switch is in an on state, where the output signal remains consistent with the input signal. When the switch changes from the on state to an off state, the resistive random-access memory is configured to work together with the bleeder circuit to enable an output signal of the latch when the switch is in the off state to remain consistent with an output signal of the latch when the switch is in the on state, thereby implementing a nonvolatile latching function. A circuit structure of the latch is simple and integrity of an existing logic circuit can be improved.
