Abstract
A pair of adjacent ReRAM cells in an array includes a first bit line for a row of the array, a second bit line for the row of the array, a p-channel word line associated with two adjacent columns in the array, and an n-channel word line associated with the two adjacent columns. A pair of ReRAM cells in the adjacent columns in the row each includes a switch node, a first ReRAM device connected between the first bit line and the source of a p-channel transistor. The drain of the p-channel transistor is connected to the switch node, and its gate is connected to the p-channel word line. A second ReRAM device is connected between the second bit line and the source of an n-channel transistor. The drain of the n-channel transistor is connected to the switch node, and its gate is connected to the n-channel word line.
