ABSTRACT:
A cross point array and peripheral circuitry that accesses the cross point array. The peripheral circuitry receives a supply voltage of approximately 1.8 volts or less, generates voltages of a magnitude not more than approximately 3 volts, and senses current that is indicative of a nonvolatile memory state.
