Abstract:
A memory device includes a current source and a memory array. The current source is configured to provide a current to a first node. The memory array is coupled to the current source at the first node. The memory array includes memory cells. First terminals of the memory cells are coupled to the first node. Each of the memory cells has a first resistance in response to having a first data value, and has a second resistance in response to having a second data value. The second data value is N times the first data value. The second resistance is approximately one-Nth of the first resistance, for N being a positive integer larger than one. A method of operating a memory device is also disclosed herein.
