Non-volatile random access memory and operation method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a non-volatile random access memory (100) and an operation method thereof. The non-volatile random access memory (100) comprises a memory cell array (110) composed of multiple memory cell blocks (111), and a peripheral circuit connected to the memory cell array (110). The peripheral circuit comprises an address decoding circuit (120) for selecting the corresponding memory cell block according to address input information, a block operation-mode information register (130) for storing operation mode information of all the memory cell blocks (111) and carrying out re-writing under the action of a control signal (160), a writing driving circuit (140) for outputting a writing operation mode to the memory cell array (110) according to the operation mode information stored in the block operation-mode information register (130), and a reading circuit (150) for outputting a reading operation mode to the memory cell array (110) according to the operation mode information stored in the block operation-mode information register (130). The non-volatile random access memory is compatible with two phase change memories having different operation modes, simplifies an interface design, saves a design area, reduces power consumption and improves a speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of micro-nano electronics, in particular to a non-volatile random memory device and an operation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The memory is a component used to store information (programs and data) used when the microcomputer works. It is precisely because of the memory that the computer has the information memory function. Early memory can be divided into random access memory chip (RAM) and read-only memory chip (ROM) according to the access method (reading and writing method). The information in ROM can only be read out, but cannot be modified or deleted by the operator, so it is generally used to store fixed programs, such as monitoring programs, assembler programs, etc., and to store various forms. RAM is mainly used to store various on-site input and output data, intermediate calculation results, and to exchange information with external memory and as a stack. Its memory cells can be ...
