A method detects if a word line of a memory array is broken. The method includes writing a first datum to a memory cell when coupling a corresponding word line to a voltage source, writing a second datum different from the first datum to the memory cell when the coupling between the corresponding word line and the voltage source is decoupled, reading the stored data of the memory cell, and determining if the word line is broken according to the read data, the first datum, and the second datum.
