Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A resistive memory device includes a resistive memory cell, and a read/program circuit configured to program the resistive memory cell from a first state to a second state. The read/program circuit reads a resistance in the first state of the resistive memory cell and adjusts a compliance current supplied to the resistive memory cell according to the read resistance during the program operation.
