Abstract

Method and memory device for reliably writing an information value to a memory element of the memory device. A first information value is represented by a first potential and a second information value is represented by a second potential. A bit line is provided for writing either the first information value or the second information value to the memory element. A potential controller is coupled to the bit line, where the potential controller is configured to apply a third potential to the bit line, which is less than the first potential when writing the first information value to the memory element.
