Abstract

A memory array and its operation method are provided. The array includes plural sets of word lines; plural bit lines; and plural memory cell each arranged at intersection of the plural sets of word lines and the plural bit lines. Each memory cell has first and second conductive filament component and a switch circuit, and one ends of the first and the second conductive filament components are coupled to corresponding bit lines and the other ends thereof are coupled to the switch circuit. In the differential mode, read is performed based on the reading currents of the first and the second conductive filament components. In the single-ended mode, read is performed based on a reference current and a reading current of the first or the second conductive filament component that is formed successfully.
