A method for operating a phase change random access memory and the phase change random access memory operated thereby are provided to cool the data storage element which is programmed by using the Pettier effect. The first write current(IP1) is applied to the data storage element for the designated time. The first write current is the impulse current having the predetermined size. The direction of the first write current is the negative direction or the positive direction. The first write current is applied to the phase change material film(G) for the predetermined time. The temperature of the phase transformation region is instantaneously increased over the phase transformation temperature. The phase transformation region is phase-transformed into the amorphous state by the first write current. The phase change material film is programmed to the reset status.

A DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system and a method for outputting additional information are provided to prevent a user from being bored or uncomfortable even in a weak field state in case that a DMB signal is poorly received. An additional information generator(208) generates additional information, and inputs the additional information into a predetermined channel to transmit the additional information. A first channel data generator generates channel data of the predetermined channel, and inserts the additional data into the generated channel data to output the resultant data. A multiplexer(210) multiplexes channel data received from the first channel data generator and channel data received from a second channel data generator, and outputs the multiplexed channel data.
