Abstract

An embodiment of a non-volatile memory device includes: a memory array, having a plurality of non-volatile logic memory cells arranged in at least one logic row, the logic row including a first row and a second row sharing a common control line; and a plurality of bit lines. Each logic memory cell has a direct memory cell, for storing a logic value, and a complementary memory cell, for storing a second logic value, which is complementary to the first logic value in the corresponding direct memory cell. The direct memory cell and the complementary memory cell of each logic memory cell are coupled to respective separate bit lines and are placed one in the first row and the other in the second row of the respective logic row.
