Abstract

Some embodiments include apparatuses having a resistive memory device and methods to apply a combination of voltage stepping current stepping and pulse width stepping during an operation of changing a resistance of a memory cell of the resistive memory device. The apparatuses also include a write termination circuit to limit drive current provided to a memory cell of the resistive memory device during a particular time of an operation performed on the memory cell. The apparatuses further include a programmable variable resistor and resistor control circuit that operate during sensing operation of the memory device.
