Abstract
A method of determining the memory state of a resistive memory cell including a first electrode, a second electrode and an active material being arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, comprises generating a read capacity by applying a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode, discharging the read capacity over the active material of the memory cell, and determining the memory state of the memory cell in dependence on a change of the voltage during the discharge of the read capacity.
