A resistive memory apparatus includes a memory cell array having a plurality of memory cells and a first ground switch. The plurality of memory cells are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, and each memory cell in a first column of the plurality of memory cells is connected between a first bitline and a first source line. The first ground switch is connected in parallel with the first source line, and the first ground switch is configured to selectively provide a first current path from the first bitline to ground through a selected memory cell in the first column of the plurality of memory cells and the first source line, the current path traversing only a portion of the first source line.
