Zusammenfassung:A minimal-duration current pulse is employed to program a programmable resistance memory to a high-resistance, RESET state. Although the duration and magnitude of RESET programming pulses in accordance with the principles of the present invention may vary depending, for example, upon the composition and structure of a cell, a method and apparatus in accordance with the principles of the present invention employs the briefest pulse practicable for a given cell or array of cells.
