Abstract

Methods of operating phase-change memory arrays are described. A method includes determining a pattern to be written to a phase-change memory array and executing, according to the pattern, two or more proper reset sequences on the phase-change memory array to write the pattern to the phase-change memory array. Another method includes executing a set sequence on a phase-change memory array and performing a proper read of the phase-change memory array to obtain a pattern derived from executing the set sequence.
