Electronic device and method for reading data stored in resistive memory cell
A semiconductor memory includes a cell array including a plurality of resistive memory cells arranged in a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows, the plurality of resistive memory cells having a snapback characteristic; and a read circuit configured to apply a read voltage to a memory cell selected among the plurality of resistive memory cells, and sense data stored in the selected memory cell by determining whether or not a snapback phenomenon has occurred in the selected memory cell, wherein the read voltage has a level higher than a level of a first voltage and lower than a level of a second voltage, wherein the snapback phenomenon occurs when the first voltage is applied to the selected memory cell in a case where the selected memory cell stores first data, and wherein the snapback phenomenon occurs when the second voltage is applied to the selected memory cell in a case where the selected memory cell stores second data.
