Abstract:
Asymmetric select and deselect drivers are provided for select lines driven to a resistive cross-point memory array. An address may be fully decoded to determine the active select driver, but a partial decode may be performed for the deselect drivers. Some embodiments may manage the odd and even deselect drivers as two sets of drivers and some embodiments may use sub-optimal transistors as the deselect drivers to save die area. Some embodiments may implement the deselect drivers as modified memory elements to reduce die area further.
