Abstract

A memory device is provided that includes a memory controller coupled to a memory array. The memory controller is adapted to perform a closed loop training interval and perform an open loop programming interval. The closed loop training interval determines a corresponding first state successful voltage and a corresponding second state successful voltage for a first group of memory cells each including a barrier modulated switching structure. The open loop programming interval programs a second group of memory cells each including a barrier modulated switching structure to a first state and a second state using the corresponding first state successful voltage and the corresponding second state successful voltage, respectively.
