Abstract
A resistive memory includes a memory cell array, a write/read circuitry and a control circuitry. The memory cell array includes a plurality of resistive memory cells coupled to a plurality of word-lines and a plurality of bit-lines. The write/read circuitry is coupled to the memory cell array through a row decoder and a column decoder, the write/read circuitry performs a write operation to write write data in a target page of the memory cell array, and verifies the write operation by comparing read data read from the target page with the write data. The control circuitry controls at least one of the row decoder, the column decoder and the write/read circuitry to control a resistance which a selected memory cell experiences according to a distance from an access point to the selected memory cell in the memory cell array based on an address.
