Resistive memory device including compensation resistive device and method of compensating resistance distribution

Abstract

A resistive memory device includes a memory cell array, an input/output (I/O) sense amplifier unit, an address input buffer, a row decoder, and a column decoder. The memory cell array includes unit memory cells, and operates in response to a word line driving signal and a column selecting signal, each unit memory cell includes a resistive device and a compensation resistive device. The I/O sense amplifier unit amplifies data output from the memory cell array to generate first data, and transfers input data to the memory cell array. The address input buffer generates a row address signal and a column address signal based on an external address. The row decoder decodes the row address signal and generates the word line driving signal based on the decoded row address signal. The column decoder decodes the column address signal and generates the column selecting signal based on the decoded column address signal.
