Abstract
A method includes, in a data storage device including a resistive memory, receiving, from an external device, an erase command to erase a portion of the resistive memory. The method further includes storing shaped data at the portion of the resistive memory responsive to the erase command. Shaped data is configured to control an amount of leakage current during a read and/or write operation at one or more storage elements that are adjacent to at least one storage element of the portion of the resistive memory.
