Abstract
An electronic device includes a semiconductor memory unit, which includes resistive memory cells; an access circuit to apply, during a write operation, a write voltage across a selected one of the resistive memory cells in a first or second direction; first switching units, each of which is disposed between the access circuit and a first end of a corresponding one of the resistive memory cells and turned on in response to a first voltage having a level higher than a predetermined level when the corresponding resistive memory cell is selected during the write operation; and second switching units, each of which is disposed between the access circuit and a second end of the corresponding resistive memory cell and turned on in response to a second voltage having a level equal to or lower than the predetermined level when the corresponding resistive memory cell is selected during the write operation.
