    Abstract: A phase change memory includes a temperature sensor having a resistance variable with temperature with the same law as a phase-change storage element. The temperature sensor is formed by a resistor (20) of chalcogenic material furnishing an electrical quantity (V(T), I(T)) that reproduces the relationship between the resistance of a phase change memory cell and temperature; the electrical quantity is processed (21) so as to generate reference quantities as necessary for writing and reading the memory cells. The chalcogenic resistor (20) has the same structure as a memory cell and is programmed with precision, preferably in the reset state.
