Abstract
A method is provided for driving a nonvolatile memory device. The method includes selecting first write drivers based on a predetermined current, performing a first program operation on resistive memory cells corresponding to the first write drivers, verifying whether the resistive memory cells have passed or failed in the first program operation and sorting information regarding failed bit memory cells that failed in the first program operation, selecting second write drivers based on the sorted failed bit memory cell information, and performing a second program operation on resistive memory cells corresponding to the second write drivers.
