    摘要: A method and a circuit configuration for generating a reference voltage in a resistive semiconductor memory includes generating a reference voltage by connecting together two bitlines having different voltages. This method for generating a reference voltage can be used in a method and in a circuit configuration for reading at least one memory cell of a resistive memory cell array in a semiconductor memory. The generated reference voltage and a voltage dependent on the content of a resistive memory cell are applied to an amplifier to determine the content of the memory cell. The content of the memory cell is determined dependent on a relationship between the reference voltage and the voltage dependent on the content of the memory cell.
