ABSTRACT:
A resistance-change memory includes first and second bit lines running in the same direction, a third bit line running parallel to the first and second bit lines, fourth and fifth bit lines running in the same direction, a sixth bit line running parallel to the fourth and fifth bit lines, a first memory element which has one and the other terminals connected to the first and third bit lines, and changes to one of first and second resistance states, a first reference element having one and the other terminals connected to the fourth and sixth bit lines, and set in the first resistance state, a second reference element having one and the other terminals connected to the fifth and sixth bit lines, and set in the second resistance state, and a sense amplifier having first and second input terminals connected to the first and fourth bit lines.
