Abstract
A memory device includes a memory unit and a selector. The memory unit is configured to store data. The selector is coupled to the memory unit, and has a variable electrical parameter capable of being set to different levels. When the variable electrical parameter of the selector is set to a first level, the selector is turned on in response to an operation signal that is enabled, allowing the data stored in the memory unit to be accessed; when the variable electrical parameter of the selector is set to a second level, the selector remains turned off when receiving the operation signal that is enabled, prohibiting the data stored in the memory unit from being accessed.
