Abstract
In a memory device including a ternary memory cell, the ternary memory cell may include: a first inverter and a second inverter cross-coupled in a first node and a second node and including a pull-up device and a pull-down device configured to have a constant current pass therethrough upon turn-off; a first read transistor and a first write transistor which are connected to each other in parallel between the first node and a first bit line; and a second read transistor and a second write transistor which are connected to each other in parallel between the second node and a second bit line, wherein the first read transistor and the second read transistor may have a read access current, which is less than or equal to the constant current, pass therethrough in response to an activated read word line.
