Abstract

The present disclosure relates to mitigating read disturb in a cross-point memory. An apparatus may include a memory controller configured to select a target memory cell for a memory access operation. The memory controller includes a sense module configured to determine whether a snap back event occurs during a sensing interval; and a write back module configured to write back a logic one to the memory cell if a snap back event is detected.
