ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling the constant power dissipation of a memory cell includes initially measuring the resistance of the memory cell, and subsequently controlling a source to apply a variable level of current or voltage to the memory cell. The variable level of the applied current or voltage is determined in proportion to the measured resistance of the memory cell so as to result in a predefined level of power dissipation within the memory cell, said dissipated power operable to heat the memory cell.
