Write sneak-path constraints avoiding disturbs in memristor crossbar arrays

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We study the problem of write disturbs due to write sneak paths in memristor crossbar arrays. A write sneak path is a bit configuration in the array that causes a write of one cell to undesirably flip the value of another cell. We study the configurations that cause such write sneak paths, and characterize them in terms of tight constraints to prevent them. We show that thanks to the flexibility to choose the write order, the resulting constraints are milder compared to known similar ones for read sneak paths. In addition, we derive the array constraints when parallel write is allowed in the rows or column only, and in both the rows and columns.
