    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a nonvolatile memory cell, a read circuit and a control bias generating circuit. The nonvolatile memory cell has a resistance level that changes depending on stored data. The read circuit reads the resistance level of the nonvolatile memory cell by receiving a control bias and supplying the nonvolatile memory cell a read bias based on the control bias. The control bias generating circuit receives an input bias, generates the control bias based on the input bias and supplies the control bias to the read circuit. A slope of the control bias to the input bias is less than 1.
