A novel framework for performance analysis and code design is proposed to address the sneak path (SP) problem in resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) arrays. The main idea is to decompose the ReRAM channel, which is both non-ergodic and data-dependent, into multiple stationary memoryless channels. A finite-length performance bound is derived by analyzing the capacity and dispersion of these stationary memoryless channels. Furthermore, leveraging this channel decomposition, a practical sparse-graph code design is proposed using density evolution. The obtained channel codes are not only asymptotic capacity approaching but also close to the derived finite-length performance bound.
