Abstract
The present disclosure provides for crossbar circuits with minimized write disturbance. A crossbar circuit may include a plurality of bit lines intersecting with a plurality of word lines, a plurality of select lines, a plurality of cross-point devices, and a ramp-rate adjustable DAC that comprises a control circuit and an operational amplifier. An input of the operational amplifier is connected to a capacitor. The control circuit may generate, based on a digital input, a control signal. To program a cross-point device of the crossbar circuit, the capacitor may be charged using a reference current. As the charging rate of the capacitor is limited by the reference current, and the charging duration is controlled by the control signal, thus the output of the operational amplifier corresponds to the digital input and may be applied to the cross-point device as a programming signal with limited slew-rate adjustable by the reference current.
