Abstract: A variety of applications can include one or more memory devices having one or more memory arrays of memory cells, where each memory cell is a resistive memory cell arranged such that a clamp current for the memory cell can be provided by an access line biasing circuit to the memory cell opposite a coupling of a sense circuit to a digit line to the memory array. The access line biasing circuit and the sense circuit can be operated in a digit line precharge phase and an access line biasing phase of a memory cell of the memory array using a set of switches to control activities for the memory cell in the memory array, the sense circuit, and the access line biasing circuit. A reference current can be provided from the access line biasing circuit to the sense circuit. Additional devices, systems, and methods are discussed.

Abstract: A resistive memory device includes a resistive cell connected between a first bit line and a first source line, a reference cell including a reference resistor and connected between a second bit line and a second source line, and a write driver connected to the first bit line or the first source line, connected to the second bit line or the second source line. The write driver includes a comparator configured to compare previous data written in the resistive cell with the target data by comparing a voltage of the first source line with a voltage of the second source line or comparing a voltage of the first bit line with a voltage of the second bit line, and determine whether the target data is written in the resistive cell after comparing the previous data with the target data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and techniques for read operations are described. In some examples, a memory device may include a first transistor (e.g., memory node transistor) configured to receive a precharge voltage at a first gate and output first voltage based on a threshold of the first transistor to a reference node via a first switch. The device may include a second transistor (e.g., a reference node transistor) configured to receive a precharge voltage and output a second voltage based on a threshold of the second transistor to a memory node via a second switch. The first voltage may be modified by a reference voltage and input to the second transistor. The second voltage may be modified by a voltage stored on a memory cell and input to the first transistor. The first and second transistor may output third and fourth voltages to be sampled to a latch.

Abstract: A device includes memory cells, a first reference switch, a second reference switch, a first reference storage unit, a second reference storage unit, and an average current circuit. The memory cells are each configured to store corresponding bit data. The first reference switch and the second reference switch are turned on when a word line is activated. The first reference storage unit generates a first signal having a first logic state when the first reference switch is turned on. The second reference storage unit generates a second signal having a second logic state when the second reference switch is turned on. The average current circuit averages the first signal and the second signal to generate a reference signal to be compared with a current indicating the bit data of one memory cell, in order to determine a logic state of the bit data of the memory cell.

Abstract: Memory devices provide a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell including a memory element and a selection device. A plurality of first (e.g., row) address lines can be adjacent (e.g., under) a first side of at least some cells of the plurality. A plurality of second (e.g., column) address lines extend across the plurality of row address lines, each column address line being adjacent (e.g., over) a second, opposing side of at least some of the cells. Control circuitry can be configured to selectively apply a read voltage or a write voltage substantially simultaneously to the address lines. Systems including such memory devices and methods of accessing a plurality of cells at least substantially simultaneously are also provided.
