Abstract
A memory device may include a local bit line electrically coupled to a plurality of memory cells and a global bit line electrically coupled to the local bit line through first and second selectable parallel paths having first and second impedances, respectively. The first path may be active and the second path may be in an off state in at least one of a set operation or a forming operation. The second path may be active in a reset operation, wherein the second impedance of the second path has a lower impedance than the first impedance of the first path.
