Abstract
A resistive memory device includes memory cell array blocks, a reference cell array block, two first and second sink transistors, and a word line. Each of the memory cell array blocks includes a row line, and the reference cell array block includes a reference row line. One of the first sink transistors is disposed between one end of the row line and a ground and the other of the first sink transistors is disposed between an opposite end of the row line and the ground. One of the second sink transistors is disposed between one end of the reference row line and the ground and the other of the second sink transistors is disposed between an opposite end of the reference row line and the ground. The word line is coupled to gates of the first and second sink transistors.
