Abstract

A method and apparatus for management worn resistive memory cells are presented. A normal read mode or worn memory cell detecting mode are used depending on the wear state of a resistive memory cell. A detection reference point is changed upon wear indication to detect the resistance of the resistive memory cell. The resistance of the resistive memory cell is detected using the changed detection reference point to determine whether or not the resistive memory cell is worn by comparing the detected resistance to a wear reference level.
