Abstract

See full text

A resistance variable memory apparatus in accordance with an embodiment may include a memory cell array and a read circuit. The memory cell array may include a plurality of resistance variable memory cells coupled between a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines. The read circuit may couple a word line, to which a selected resistance variable memory cell is coupled, to a first ground voltage supply terminal for a preset first time period before an amount of current flowing through the selected resistance variable memory cell is detected. The read circuit may couple a bit line, to which the selected resistance variable memory cell is coupled, to a power voltage supply terminal for a preset second time period, in a read operation.
