Abstract

Cross point memory array using multiple modes of operation. The invention is a cross point memory array that uses a read mode to determine the resistive state of a memory plug, a first write mode to cause the memory plug to change from a first resistive state to a second resistive state, and a second write mode to cause the memory plug to change from the second resistive state back to the first resistive state.
