    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide devices or methods that include a status bit representing an inversion of stored data. New data is written to selected cells, the new data is selectively inverted, and the status bit is selectively toggled, based on a comparison between pre-existing data and new data associated with a write command. A benefit of embodiments of the invention is that fewer memory cells must be activated in many instances (when compared to conventional art approaches). Moreover, embodiments of the invention may also reduce the average amount of activation current required to write to variable resistive memory devices and other memory device types.

    摘要: Disclosed is a phase-changeable memory device and a related method of reading data. The memory device is comprised of memory cells, a high voltage circuit, a precharging circuit, a bias circuit, and a sense amplifier. Each memory cell includes a phase-changeable material and a diode connected to a bitline. The high voltage circuit provides a high voltage from a power source. The precharging circuit raises the bitline up to the high voltage after charging the bitline up to the power source voltage. The bias circuit supplies a read current to the bitline by means of the high voltage. The sense amplifier compares a voltage of the bitline with a reference voltage by means of the high voltage, and reads data from the memory cell. The memory device is able to reduce the burden on the high voltage circuit during the precharging operation, thus assuring a sufficient sensing margin during the sensing operation.
