    摘要: In a particular implementation, a method to perform a read operation on a voltage divider bit-cell having first and second transistors and first and second storage elements is disclosed. The method includes: providing a first voltage to a bit-line coupled to the second transistor of the voltage-divider bit-cell; providing a second voltage to a first word-line and providing an electrical grounding to a second word-line; where the first and second word-lines are coupled to the respective first and second resistive memory devices; and determining at least one of first and second data resistances in the respective first and second storage elements based on an output voltage on the bit-line.
