    Abstract: The voltage generator comprises a negative feedback loop including a programmable voltage divider having a feedback node. The voltage divider comprises a programmable resistor disposed between the output of the voltage generator and the feedback node and having variable resistance. The programmable resistor includes a fixed resistor and a plurality of additional resistors arranged in series with each other and defining a plurality of intermediate nodes. The additional resistors may be selectively connected by means of switches disposed between the output of the voltage generator and a respective intermediate node so as to define an output voltage V0 programmable on the basis of command signals supplied to the switches.

    Abstract: The method involves applying in succession, to a control terminal of the memory cell, at least two programming pulse trains (F1,F2) with pulse amplitude increasing in staircase fashion. The amplitude increment between one pulse and the next in the first programming pulse train (F1) is greater than the amplitude increment between one pulse and the next in the second programming pulse train (F2). Transition from the first programming pulse to train to the second is made when the memory cell has a threshold voltage with a pre-set relation with a reference value.

    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.
