Abstract

A memory cell arrangement is provided that may include: a plurality of memory cells including one or more memory cells to be read out and one or more memory cells not to be read out; a control circuit defining a base voltage and configured to: apply a select voltage, a first readout voltage and a second readout voltage, to one word-line and to a source/bit-line pair corresponding to the one or more memory cells to be read out, respectively; apply a voltage that is substantially the base voltage to one or more word-lines corresponding to the one or more memory cells not to be read out; wherein both the first readout voltage and the second readout voltage are provided with an offset to the base voltage, and wherein the first readout voltage and the second readout voltage are different from one another.
