摘要:
A nonvolatile memory device (800) includes a variable resistance nonvolatile memory element (100) and a control circuit (810). The control circuit (810) determines whether a resistance value of the nonvolatile memory element (100) in a high resistance state is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. Moreover, if the resistance value of the nonvolatile memory element (100) in the high resistance state is smaller than the threshold value, the control circuit (810) applies a first voltage (VL1) to the nonvolatile memory element (100) to change a resistance state of the nonvolatile memory element (100) from the high resistance state to the low resistance state. Moreover, if the resistance value of the nonvolatile memory element (100) in the high resistance state is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the control circuit (810) applies to the nonvolatile memory element (100) a second voltage (VL2) an absolute value of which is smaller an absolute value of the first voltage (VL1) to change the resistance state of the nonvolatile memory element (100) from the high resistance state to the low resistance state.
