Abstract:
Some embodiments include apparatuses having a resistive memory device and methods to apply a combination of voltage stepping current stepping and pulse width stepping during an operation of changing a resistance of a memory cell of the resistive memory device. The apparatuses also include a write termination circuit to limit drive current provided to a memory cell of the resistive memory device during a particular time of an operation performed on the memory cell. The apparatuses further include a programmable variable resistor and resistor control circuit that operate during sensing operation of the memory device.

Claim (Index 8):
An apparatus comprising:\n a first conductive line; a second conductive line; a resistive memory cell coupled between the first and second conductive lines; and a control unit to: cause a current flowing through the resistive memory cell during a first time interval and a second time interval of an operation of storing information in the resistive memory cell to have a first current value during the first time interval and a second current value during the second time interval, the second current value being greater than the first current value, and to cause a voltage at the first conductive line during the first and second time intervals to remain unchanged at a first voltage value; and cause a current flowing the resistive memory cell during a third time interval and a fourth time interval of the operation to have a third current value during the third time interval and a fourth current value during the fourth time interval, the fourth current value being greater than the third current value, and to cause a voltage at the first conductive line during the third and fourth time intervals to remain unchanged at a second voltage value, the second voltage value being greater than the first voltage value.
