N2 - In this paper, we present novel phase change memory programming techniques achieving low power operation without compromising performance by using proper pulsing schemes. By applying continuous current pulses at a fixed frequency or with the same pulse magnitude, binary data are successfully written into memory cells. The proposed programming techniques can be implemented with more flexible or simplified circuitry since a single current level is shown to be sufficient for write operations of both set and reset states.
