Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 1, wherein applying the sequence of programming pulses to the non-volatile analog resistive memory cell comprises:
applying a first sequence of programming pulses to the FeFET device during an initialization period to change a polarization state of the FeFET device from an initial state to a target polarization state, without changing a conductance of the resistive memory device during the initialization period;
applying a second sequence of programming pulses to the FeFET device during a conductance tuning period, following the initialization period, to further modulate a polarization state of the FeFET device starting from the target polarization state; and
applying a potentiation voltage to the non-volatile analog resistive memory cell during the conductance tuning period to cause an incremental increase of the conductance of the resistive memory cell in response to each programming pulse of the second sequence of programming pulses applied to the FeFET device.
