Abstract
A memory device includes a plurality of word lines, a bit line, a memory array, a control circuit, and a current summation circuit. The memory array includes a plurality of memory cells coupled to the bit line. Each of the plurality of memory cells includes an access transistor coupled to a corresponding word line among the plurality of word lines. The control circuit is configured to supply, correspondingly through the plurality of word lines, a plurality of word line voltages, different from each other, to the access transistors. The current summation circuit is configured to be coupled to the bit line, and to detect a bit line current on the bit line.
