    Abstract: A resistive memory device includes a memory cell array that has a plurality of resistive memory cells that are arranged respectively on regions where a plurality of first signal lines and a plurality of second signal lines cross each other. A write circuit is connected to a selected first signal line that is connected to a selected memory cell from among the plurality of memory cells, and provides pulses to the selected memory cell. A voltage detector detects a node voltage at a connection node between the selected first signal line and the write circuit. A voltage generation circuit generates a first inhibit voltage and a second inhibit voltage that are applied respectively to unselected first and second signal lines connected to unselected memory cells from among the plurality of memory cells, and changes a voltage level of the second inhibit voltage based on the node voltage that is detected.

    Abstract: A method of operating a memory device includes determining a value of an operating current flowing through a selected first signal line, to which a selection voltage is applied, from among a plurality of first signal lines; dividing an array of memory cells into n blocks, n being an integer greater than 1, based on the value of the operating current; and applying inhibit voltages having different voltage levels corresponding to the n blocks to unselected ones of second signal lines included in the n blocks. Each of the unselected second signal lines is a pathway through which leakage current may potentially flow due to the operating current flowing through the selected first signal line and a memory cell addressed by the unselected second signal line and the selected first signal line.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes multi-level cells. A sensing method of the nonvolatile memory device includes: precharging a bit line and a sense-out node during a first precharge interval; identifying a first state of a selected memory cell, by developing the sense-out node during a first develop time and sensing a first voltage level of the sense-out node; precharging the sense-out node to a second sense-out precharge voltage; and identifying the first state of the selected memory cell from a second state adjacent thereto, by developing the sense-out node during a second develop time different from the first develop time and sensing a second voltage level of the sense-out node.
