ABSTRACT:
A method of addressing a memory cell includes applying a plurality of pulses to the memory cell, wherein a subsequent pulse has an amplitude greater than an initial pulse. In addition, a memory includes a memory cell and a control circuit configured to address the memory cell by applying a plurality of pulses to the memory cell, wherein a subsequent pulse has an amplitude greater than an initial pulse.
