METHOD OF READING DATA FROM SELF-SELECTING MEMORY, SELF-SELECTING MEMORY PERFORMING THE SAME AND METHOD OF OPERATING SELF-SELECTING MEMORY USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18303937 titled 'METHOD OF READING DATA FROM SELF-SELECTING MEMORY, SELF-SELECTING MEMORY PERFORMING THE SAME AND METHOD OF OPERATING SELF-SELECTING MEMORY USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the patent application involves reading data from a self-selecting memory by generating a read pulse with a polarity opposite to that of a write pulse. The read pulse is applied to a target memory cell in the self-selecting memory, with the slope of the second edge of the read pulse adjusted to increase undershoot or overshoot.

  • Write pulse writes data into target memory cell
  • Read pulse has opposite polarity to write pulse
  • Read pulse applied to target memory cell
  • Read pulse has adjusted second edge slope to increase undershoot or overshoot

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in:

  • Memory systems
  • Data storage devices
  • Embedded systems

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following issues:

  • Efficient data reading from self-selecting memory

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of reading data from a self-selecting memory includes generating a read pulse that has a polarity opposite to that of a write pulse. The write pulse writes data into a target memory cell in the self-selecting memory. The read pulse is applied to the target memory cell. The read pulse has a first edge that is a starting point of the read pulse and a second edge that is an ending point of the read pulse. A slope of the second edge of the read pulse is adjusted such that an undershoot or overshoot on the second edge of the read pulse increases.
