Abstract

A non-volatile memory includes a memory array, a row decoder, a source line decoder, a column decoder, and a sensing circuit. The memory array is connected with m word lines, n source lines and n bit lines. The row decoder determines a selected row of n memory cells. The n memory cells in the selected row are connected with the n source lines and the n bit lines. By the source line decoder, an x-th source line is connected with a source line voltage but the other source lines of the n source lines are in a floating state. By the column decoder, an x-th bit line of the n bit lines is connected with a data line but the other bit lines are connected with a reference voltage. The sensing circuit determines a storing state of a selected memory cell.
