1. A method of writing a state to a correlated electron element in a storage circuit, the method comprising receiving a write command for writing the state into the correlated electron element; reading a stored state of the correlated electron element; comparing the state and the stored state; enabling a write driver for writing the state into the correlated electron element when the state and read state are different; and in the event of the stored state and read state being matching states, not writing the state to be written into the correlated electron element.
