Abstract

A memory device includes a memory cell connected to a bit line and a source line, a read and write circuit configured to read data of the memory cell and/or write data in the memory cell, and a switch circuit configured to receive a selection signal based on a power supply voltage. The switch circuit includes a first switch connected between the bit line and the read and write circuit, a second switch connected between the source line and the read and write circuit, and a switch controller configured to turn on or turn off the first and the second switches based on the selection signal using one of a read voltage and a write voltage that are different from the power supply voltage.
