Abstract

According to one embodiment, a memory device includes a preamplifier configured to execute a first read in which a first current relating to a memory cell is passed through a first path and a second current relating to the first current is passed through a second path, to generate a first voltage, to write first data to the memory cell; and to execute a second read in which a third current relating to the memory cell with the first data written thereto is passed through the first path and a fourth current relating to the third current is passed through the second path, to generate a second voltage; and a sense amplifier configured to determine data stored in the memory cell during execution of the first read based on the first voltage and the second voltage.
