Abstract: A memory device includes a phase change memory (PCM) cell connected between a bit line and a word line. An X-decoder provides a word line voltage to the word line during a reset operation, and a Y-decoder provides a bit line voltage to the bit line during the reset operation. A voltage bias circuit generates the word line voltage and the bit line voltage based on a first bias during a first period of the reset operation, the word line voltage and the bit line voltage based on a second bias greater than the first bias during a second period of the reset operation, and the word line voltage and the bit line voltage based on a third bias smaller than the first and second biases during a third period of the reset operation.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell connected to a word line and a bit line, a row driver that drives the word line to a precharge level, a column driver that drives the bit line to a first target level, a sense amplifier that senses a first sensing level of the word line after the first target level is applied to the memory cell, and a read control circuit that controls the column driver so that a second target level different from the first target level is selectively applied to the memory cell depending on the first sensing level sensed by the sense amplifier.
