Abstract

A phase change memory device using a multiple level write voltage is described. The phase change memory device includes a cell array unit including a phase change resistance cell positioned at an intersection of a word line and a bit line. A voltage selection adjusting unit is configured to select one of a plurality of multiple voltages in response to a voltage adjusting signal to output a driving voltage. A write driving unit is also configured to finely adjust the voltage level of the driving voltage in response to a voltage fine-adjusting signal to supply the driving voltage to the cell array unit.
