Patent 10998044 was granted and assigned to Hefei Reliance Memory Ltd. on May, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An RRAM array has one or more source lines and one or more bitlines. A control circuit sets an RRAM cell to a low resistance state in a set operation, and resets the RRAM cell to a high resistance state in a reset operation. A voltage applied to a bitline or source line is ramped during a first time interval, held to a maximum voltage value during a second interval, and ceased after the second time interval.
