ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit with memory having a current limiting switch includes a memory cell having a programmable resistivity layer and a writing line. A switch is arranged between the resistivity layer and the writing line. The switch includes a control input connected to a select line. The switch is configured to limit a current through the resistivity layer for a write operation.
