ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods employing at least one constant current source to facilitate programming of an organic memory cell and/or employing at least one constant voltage source to facilitate erasing of a memory device. The present invention is utilized in single memory cell devices and memory cell arrays. Employing a constant current source prevents current spikes during programming and allows accurate control of a memory cell's state during write cycles, independent of the cell's resistance. Employing a constant voltage source provides a stable load for memory cells during erase cycles and allows for accurate voltage control across the memory cell despite large dynamic changes in cell resistance during the process.
