Abstract:
A non-volatile memory device includes a memory cell array including memory cells, a read circuit that, in operation, obtains pieces of resistance value information each relating to the resistance value of one of the memory cells, an arithmetic circuit that, in operation, calculates a binary reference value based on at least a part of the pieces of resistance value information, and a data adjustment circuit. In operation, the read circuit assigns, based on the binary reference value, 0 or 1 to each of the pieces of resistance value information. In operation, the data adjustment circuit determines whether to adjust the binary reference value, in accordance with a difference between the numbers of pieces of digital data “0” and digital data “1” in the pieces of digital data.
