ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,749,531, issued on Sept. 29, was assigned to Crossbar Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Wordline-coupled differential programming of two-terminal memory with increased cell density and consistent cell pitch" was invented by Hagop Nazarian (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An architecture is provided for differential programming of multiple one-resistor, one-transistor (1T1R) two-terminal resistive switching memory cells that define a single bit (e.g., a differential bit). The single bit can be a physical unclonable function (PUF) bit or a random number generation (RNG) bit, or the like. A program voltage can be applied concurr...
