In a phase change memory, 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. The hardware accelerator may include an edge detector 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.
