发明名称 Resistive random-access memory devices
摘要 A resistive random-access memory device includes a memory array, a read circuit, a write-back logic circuit and a write-back circuit. The read circuit reads the data stored in a selected memory cell and accordingly generates a first control signal. The write-back logic circuit generates a write-back control signal according to the first control signal and a second control signal. The write-back circuit performs a write-back operation on the selected memory cell according to the write-back control signal and a write-back voltage, so as to change a resistance state of the selected memory cell from a low resistance state to a high resistance state, and generates the second control signal according to the resistance state of the selected memory cell.
