摘要: A write method for a resistive memory including a storage array, a control circuit and an access circuit is provided. The control circuit receives an external command to activate the access circuit to access the storage array. The write method includes determining whether the external command is ready to perform a write operation for the storage array; generating a first operation voltage group to the access circuit when the external command does not perform the write operation for the storage array; reading a count value of a block that corresponds to a write address when the external command performs the write operation for the storage array, wherein the count value indicates the number of times that the block corresponding to the write address performs the write operation; and generating a second operation voltage group to the access circuit according to the count value of the block.
