Integrated circuit with memory having a current limiting switch
View Patent ↗An integrated circuit with memory having a current limiting switch includes a memory cell having a programmable resistivity layer and a writing line. A switch is arranged between the resistivity layer and the writing line. The switch includes a control input connected to a select line. The switch is configured to limit a current through the resistivity layer for a write operation.
1. An integrated circuit having a memory cell, the memory cell comprising:
a programmable resistivity layer;
a writing line; and
a switch arranged between the resistivity layer and the writing line, the switch comprising a control input connected to a select line, the switch limiting a current through the resistivity layer for a write operation.
2. The integrated circuit of claim 1 , wherein the switch provides a self-limiting write operation.
