Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for storing data to non-volatile resistive sense memory (RSM) memory cells of a semiconductor memory array, including but not limited to resistive random access memory (RRAM) and spin-torque transfer random access memory (STTRAM or STRAM) cells. In accordance with various embodiments, a plurality of addressable data blocks from a host device are stored in a buffer. At least a portion of each of the addressable data blocks are serially transferred to a separate register of a plurality of registers. The transferred portions of said addressable data blocks are thereafter simultaneously transferred from the registers to selected RSM cells of the array.
