Provided are a phase-change memory device and method that maintains a resistance of a phase-change material in a reset state within a constant resistance range. In the method, data is provided to a first phase-change memory cell and then it is first determined whether data stored in the first phase-change memory cell and the data provided to the first phase-change memory cell are identical. If the data stored in the first phase-change memory cell and the data provided to the first phase-change memory cell are not identical, a complementary write current is provided to the first phase-change memory cell and it is second determined whether the data stored in the first phase-change memory cell and the data provided to the first phase-change memory cell are identical. If the data stored in the first phase-change memory cell and the data provided to the first phase-change memory cell are identical, data is provided to a second phase-change memory cell.

A method and device for driving the word lines of a phase change memory device is provided. The method may include applying a first voltage level to non-selected word lines and a second voltage level to selected word lines during a normal operational mode, and placing the word lines in a floating state during a standby operational mode. The phase change memory device may include a plurality of word line drive circuits for driving corresponding word lines, where each of the plurality of word line drive circuits includes a drive unit which sets a corresponding word line to a first voltage level or a second voltage level in response to a first control signal, and a mode selector which selectively applies the first voltage level to the driving unit according to an operational mode of the phase change memory device.

Phase-changeable random access memory (PRAM) devices include a plurality of rows and columns of PRAM memory cells therein and at least one local bit line electrically coupled to a column of the PRAM memory cells. First and second bit line selection circuits are provided to increase the rate at which the at least one local bit line can be accessed and driven with a bit line signal. These first and second bit line selection circuits are configured to electrically connect first and second ends of the at least one local bit line to a global bit line during an operation to read data from a selected one of the PRAM memory cells in the column.
