Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a first terminal, a second terminal, a resistive memory device configured to have a first resistance level in a first state and a second resistance level in a second state, and a switching device including a control terminal and a current path. The resistive memory device and the current path are coupled in series between the first and second terminals, and the switching device is configured to, responsive to a first voltage level at the control terminal, control the current path to have a first conductance level in a first programmed state and a second conductance level in a second programmed state.
