Abstract: Operating a selector device that controls access of a signal to a memory element may comprise applying a main operating voltage pulse and a refresh voltage pulse to the selector device. The refresh voltage pulse and main operating voltage pulse have opposite polarities. A magnitude of the main operating voltage pulse is greater than or equal to a threshold voltage for turning on the selector device, and a maximum magnitude of the refresh voltage pulse is less than the threshold voltage. The refresh voltage pulse reduces a difference between the threshold voltage and a turn-off voltage of the selector device, and may be applied immediately before or immediately after the main operating voltage pulse. An electronic circuit may include the selector device and a driving circuit for apply the pulses. A nonvolatile memory may include the driving circuit and a plurality of nonvolatile memory elements each including a selector device.

Abstract: A switching device includes a first switching element having a snap-back behavior characteristic, an output voltage of the first switching element decreasing when an input current increases from a turn-on threshold current of the first switching element. The switching device further includes a second switching element having a continuous-resistance behavior characteristic, an output voltage of the second switching element increasing when the input current increases from a turn-on threshold current of the second switching element. The turn-on threshold current of the first switching element is lower than the turn-on threshold current of the second switching element.
