Abstract
Resistors are connected between word lines and bit lines running transversely with respect thereto. The resistors have a higher resistance than the word lines and the bit lines. The bit lines are each connected to a sense amplifier which regulates the potential on the respective bit line to a reference potential and at which an output signal can be picked off. If one of the word lines is selected and all the other word lines are put at reference potential, then the resistance of the resistor, which is assigned to an information item, can be read from the output signal.
