Abstract: A method and apparatus for writing data to a non-volatile memory cell, such as an STRAM memory cell or an RRAM memory cell. In some embodiments, a plurality of N non-volatile memory cells, where N is a greater than two, are connected to a common floating source line. A write circuit is adapted to program a selected memory cell of the plurality to a selected data state by passing a write current of selected magnitude through the selected memory cell and concurrently passing a portion of the write current in parallel through each of the remaining N−1 memory cells of the plurality via the common floating source line.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to an apparatus and associated method for updating data in a non-volatile memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, a memory block is formed with a plurality of types of memory cell sectors arranged in data pages of a first type and log pages of a second type that can be updated in-place. A first updated sector is written to a first log page while maintaining an outdated sector in an original data page, and overwritten with a second updated sector.
