Abstract:
A memory cell includes a first bidirectional resistive memory element (BRME), and a second BRME, a first storage node, and a second storage node. A resistive memory write to the cell includes placing the first BRME and the second BRME in complementary resistive states indicative of the value being written. During a subsequent restoration operation, the value as written in the first BRME and second BRME is written to the first storage node and the second storage node while a wordline connected to the memory cell is deasserted.
