Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor resistive memory device. The resistive memory device includes a plurality of unit cells. A source line and a data input/output line of the unit cells may be selectively connected to have a substantially same voltage level for equalization when the unit cells are in inactive or unselected state. The equalization may decrease current consumption and protect write error, and protect leakage current.
