    Abstract: A phase change memory includes a float buffer which stores the result of a comparison between the current state of data in the phase change memory cells and an intended next state of each of those cells. The float buffer indicates which cells need to be programmed in order to achieve the new states and which cells happen to already be in the new states. Then, after programming of the cells, the float buffer indicates which cells still need to be programmed. Thus, a control stage uses the information in the float buffer to program only those cells whose states need to be changed.

    Abstract: In a phase change memory (100), the memory array may be written in relatively small chunks. The writing of data to the array and, particularly, the writing of set data, may be accelerated using a hardware accelerator (14). The hardware accelerator includes an edge detector (17) which detects a short duration signal pulse to trigger the writing of the set data to a cell. As a result, the writing of data may be accelerated, reducing the time to write in some cases.
