Abstract
An integrated circuit according to an embodiment includes: resistive change elements disposed in intersection regions between first and second wiring lines; a first driver driving the first wiring lines; a second driver driving the second wiring lines; a control circuit controlling the first and second drivers; first current limiter circuits corresponding to the first wiring lines, each of the first current circuits each limiting a maximum current flowing in corresponding one of the first wiring lines to a value not greater than one of a first to third current values; and second current limiter circuits corresponding to the second wiring lines, the second current limiter circuits each limiting a maximum current flowing in corresponding one of the second wiring lines to a value not greater than one of the first to third current value, the limiting current of the selected element being higher than that of the unselected element.
