    Abstract: The invention has involved the development of a method for reading a resistive memory cell that has two electrodes spaced apart from one another by an ion-conductive resistive material and that can be transferred from a stable state having a relatively high resistance value (high resistive state, HRS) to a stable state having a relatively low resistance value (low resistance state, LRS) by applying a write voltage. According to the invention, reading involves a read voltage being applied as a read pulse, wherein the number of ions driven through the ion-conductive resistive material during the pulse is set by means of the level and duration of the pulse such that, on the basis of the state for forming an electrically conductive path through the ion-conductive resistive material, they suffice at least until the onset of a flow of current through this path and hence for the transition to a metastable state VRS (volatile resistance state) with a reduced resistance value and a prescribed relaxation time for the return to the HRS state, but not for the transition to the LRS state. This ensures that the memory cell is always back in the same state after reading as before reading. This renders particularly memory elements that consist of two memory cells in reverse-connected series being nondestructively readable without this diminishing the possibility of producing large arrays from these memory elements.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of reading memory cells. The memory cells have a write operation that occurs only if a voltage of sufficient absolute value is applied for a sufficient duration of time; and the reading is conducted with a pulse that is of too short of a time duration to be sufficient for the write operation. In some embodiments, the pulse utilized for the reading may have an absolute value of voltage that is greater than or equal to the voltage utilized for the write operation. In some embodiments, the memory cells may comprise non-ohmic devices; such as memristors and diodes.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a memristor device is described. The device includes an active memristor to be set to one of a plurality of states. The device also includes a state controller to program the state of the active memristor. The state defines a current-voltage relationship for the active memristor. The state controller also sets an operating point for the active memristor around which an input signal oscillates. The resistance of the active memristor defines an amplitude modulation of the input signal and the reactance of the active memristor defines a phase delay of the input signal.
