Abstract:
A writing method for a resistive memory cell and a resistive memory are provided. The writing method includes following steps. A reference voltage is provided to a bit line of the resistive memory cell. A first voltage is provided to a word line of the resistive memory cell, and a second voltage is provided to a source line of the resistive memory cell, wherein the first voltage is not increased while the second voltage is progressively increased. Thus, when the writing method for the resistive memory cell is performed, the voltage of the word line is not increased while the voltage of the source line is progressively increased, so as to expand voltage window for reset operation. And, the chance for occurring the complementary switching manifestation of the resistive memory cell due to excessive input voltages is reduced.
