ABSTRACT:
A method and a system for operating bits of memory cells in a memory array, the method including applying a first operating pulse to a terminal of a first cell, the first operating pulse is intended to place the first cell into a predefined state; and applying a second operating pulse to a terminal of a second cell in the set, the second operating pulse is intended to place the second cell to the predefined state, and the pulse characteristics of the second operating pulse are a function of the response of the first cell to the first operating pulse.
