A 0.13 µm 8 Mb resistive random access memory (ReRAM) test macro with cell size is developed based on logic process for embedded applications. Smart and adaptive write and read assist circuits are proposed to fix yield and power consumption issues arising from large variations in set/reset time and high-temperature cell resistance. Self-adaptive write mode (SAWM) helps increase the window from 8X to 24X at room temperature. The reset bit yield is improved from 61.5% to 100% and the high power consumption is eliminated after the cell switches to during set. Self-adaptive read mode (SARM) increases read bit yield from 98% to 100% at 125 . The typical access time of the on-pitch voltage sense amplifier (SA) is 21 ns. High bandwidth throughput is supported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
