Abstract
A memory device includes a memory cell, a bit line connected to the memory cell, a control voltage generator configured to generate a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current and generate an analog control voltage inversely proportional to the PTAT current, and a load current control circuit configured to control a first load current supplied to the bit line based on the analog control voltage.
