Abstract
Integrated circuits with an array of programmable resistive switch elements are provided. A programmable resistive switch element may include two non-volatile resistive memory elements connected in series and two varistors. A first of the two varistors is used to program a top resistive memory element in the resistive switch element, whereas a second of the two varistors is used to program a bottom resistive memory element in the resistive switch element. Row and column drivers implemented using only thin gate oxide transistors are used to program a selected resistive switch in the array without violating a maximum voltage level that satisfies predetermined defects per million (DPM) reliability criteria.
