Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to circuits, systems, and methods of operation for a memory device. In an example, a memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell having a variable impedance that varies in accordance with a respective data value stored therein; and a read circuit configured to read the data value stored within a selected memory cell based upon a variable time delay determination of a signal node voltage change corresponding to the variable impedance of the selected memory cell.

Claim (Index 1):
A memory device comprising:\n a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell having a respective variable impedance that varies in accordance with a respective data value stored therein; a selection circuit; and a read circuit coupled to a selected memory cell, the selected memory cell having a variable impedance, the read circuit, together with the selection circuit, configured to:\n charge a signal node at a variable rate corresponding to the variable impedance of the selected memory cell; \n affect a chance voltage of the signal node at a variable rate corresponding to the variable impedance of the selected memory cell, \n measure a time-to-charge of the signal node to determine a variable time delay determination of the signal node voltage change; \n read a data value stored in the selected memory cell based upon the variable time delay determination, \n wherein the variable time delay determination is made with reference to a word line signal that selects the selected memory cell.
