Abstract
A memory includes a memory cell including a first terminal, a second terminal and a channel extending between the first terminal and the second terminal. The memory further includes an energy storage element configured to support a programming of the memory cell, the energy storage element being coupled to the first terminal, an energy supply coupled to the energy storage element, and a controller. The controller is configured to activate the energy supply and to bring the channel of the memory cell into a non-conductive state for energizing the energy storage element, and to subsequently bring the channel of the memory cell into a conductive state for programming the memory cell based on the energy stored in the energy storage element.
