Provided is a driving method of a nonvolatile memory device for performing a write operation using a plurality of consecutive write loops. The driving method includes writing data to a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells during a first write loop, and after the first write loop, writing the data to the plurality of nonvolatile memory cells during a second write loop. A first maximum parallel bit size of the first write loop is n bits. A second maximum parallel bit size of the second write loop is m bits. m is greater than n.

Driving method of nonvolatile memory device using variable resistive element

Provided are nonvolatile memory devices and a driving method of the nonvolatile memory devices. The nonvolatile memory devices may include a plurality of memory banks, a read global bit line shared by the plurality of memory banks, a write global bit line shared by the plurality of memory banks, a read circuit connected with the read global bit line and performing a read operation, and a discharge control circuit connected with the write global bit line and primarily discharging the write global bit line during an initialization interval after a power-up operation.

Nonvolatile memory device with reduced coupling noise and driving method thereof

A nonvolatile memory device utilizes a variable resistive element. The nonvolatile memory device includes a plurality of banks and first to third write global bit lines arranged to cross the plurality of banks. Each of the plurality of banks includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells using resistive material. The first, the second and the third write global bit lines are disposed directly adjacent to one another in order. When a write current is supplied to the first write global bit line during a write period, a fixed voltage is applied to the second write global bit line while the third global bit line floats.
