Abstract
A resistive memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, each of which is configured to store a normal data, a first reference data corresponding to a first resistance state and a second reference data corresponding to a second resistance state, a data copy unit configured to temporarily store the normal data read from a selected memory cell and generate a copied cell current based on the stored normal data, a mirroring block configured to temporarily store the first and second reference data read from the selected memory cell, and to generate a first reference current and a second reference current based on the stored first and second reference data, respectively, and a sensing unit configured to sense the stored normal data based on the copied cell current and the first reference current and the second reference current.
