Abstract
An electronic device includes a semiconductor memory, and the semiconductor memory includes a memory cell including a resistive memory element having a high resistance state and a low resistance state according to stored data, a selection element coupled serially to the resistive memory element, and a current clamping transistor electrically connected to a first end of the memory cell to limit an amount of a current flowing through the memory cell. In a drift recovery operation of the memory cell, a rising pulse voltage may be applied to a second end of the memory cell in a state in which the current clamping transistor has been turned off, the first end facing the second end.
