ABSTRACT:
Cross point memory array using distinct voltages. The invention is a cross point memory array that applies a first select voltage on one conductive array line, a second select voltage on a second conductive array line, the two conductive array lines being uniquely defined. Additionally, an unselect voltage is applied to the unselected conductive array lines. The unselect voltage can be applied before, after or during the selection process. The unselect voltage can be approximately equal to the average of the first select voltage and the second select voltage.
