    Abstract: Circuitry for generating voltage levels operative to perform data operations on non-volatile re-writeable memory arrays are disclosed. In some embodiments an integrated circuit includes a substrate and a base layer formed on the substrate to include active devices configured to operate within a first voltage range. Further, the integrated circuit can include a cross-point memory array formed above the base layer and including re-writable two-terminal memory cells that are configured to operate, for example, within a second voltage range that is greater than the first voltage range. Conductive array lines in the cross-point memory array are electrically coupled with the active devices in the base layer. The integrated circuit also can include X-line decoders and Y-line decoders that include devices that operate in the first voltage range. The active devices can include other active circuitry such as sense amps for reading data from the memory cells, for example.

    Abstract: An ultra-high-density vertical cross-point array comprises a plurality of horizontal line layers having horizontal lines interleaved with a plurality of vertical lines arranged in rows and columns. The vertical lines are interleaved with the horizontal lines such that a row of vertical lines is positioned between each consecutive pair of horizontal lines in each horizontal line layer. Each vertical line comprises a center conductor surrounded by a single or multi-layered memory film. Accordingly, when interleaved with the horizontal lines, two-terminal memory cells are integrally formed between the center conductor of each vertical line and each crossing horizontal line. By configuring the vertical and horizontal lines so that a row of vertical lines is positioned between each consecutive pair of horizontal lines, a unit memory cell footprint of just 2F2 may be realized.

    Abstract: Providing a reference voltage to a cross point memory array. The invention is a cross point memory array and some peripheral circuitry that, when activated, provides a reference voltage to a cross point array in order to prevent unselected conductive array lines from floating to an undesired voltage. The peripheral circuitry can be activated before, after or during selection of a specific memory plug. If the peripheral circuitry is activated during selection, only the unselected conductive array lines should be brought to the reference voltage. Otherwise, all the conductive array lines can be brought to the reference voltage.

    Abstract: Providing a multi-output multiplexor. The invention is multi-output multiplexor that, depending on the control signals, allows various modulating circuits to pass no voltage, pass some voltage or pass all the voltage on one of the mulitplexor's ports., A modulating circuit can be fully turned on, partially turned on, or fully turned off. In a preferred embodiment, a gate circuit is in electrical contact with ground such that when the gate circuit is turned on and its associated modulating circuit is not passing voltage, the multiplexor output associated with the modulating circuit goes to ground.

The provided programming circuit monitors the changing resistance while programming the memory cell. The programming circuit can be used to only program the memory cell for as long as programming is actually needed. Additionally, the programming circuit can be used to only program the memory cell when it has a value that needs to be changed.
