Abstract
A storage device includes an interface, NVM device, and control module. The control module may be configured to receive a first write operation and a second write operation. The first write operation comprises a SET operation configured to place a cell of the NVM device in a relatively low-resistance state. The control module may be further configured to execute the first write operation by causing an electrical pulse to be applied to a first cell of the NVM device to place the first cell in the relatively low-resistance state. The control module may be further configured to execute the second write operation by causing an electrical pulse to be applied to a second cell of the NVM device before the first electrical pulse has concluded. A single tile of the NVM device includes the first cell and the second cell.
