Abstract

In some embodiments, detecting resistance in a resistive memory cell may be done using a pulse edge. For example, a pulse may be applied through a resistive memory data cell and another through a reference delay circuit to determine which path has the larger delay in order to determine the resistive state of the data cell in question.
