Abstract
In the examples provided herein, a voltage driver module applies an increasing voltage to a memristive memory cell until a resistance of the cell switches to a target resistance. A monitoring module monitors a switching voltage at which the resistance of the cell switches to the target resistance, or an application duration of the increasing voltage to the cell. Additionally, a controller performs an action to protect data stored by the cell upon determining that the switching voltage exceeds a target voltage.
