Abstract

A resistance variable memory device is provided and includes a resistance variable memory cell that writes data by utilizing a spin transfer effect based on an injection current. The memory device also includes a driving circuit that generates a combined pulse of a plurality of write pulses and an offset pulse defining the level between the write pulses and supplies the combined pulse to the memory cell at the time of the writing.
