Abstract

A memory device may include nonvolatile memory cells. A first memory cell of the nonvolatile memory cells may have a first resistance value in a first state and a second memory cell of the nonvolatile memory cells may have a second resistance value less than the first resistance value in a second state. A third memory cell of the nonvolatile memory cells may have a third resistance value less than the first resistance value and greater than the second resistance value in a third state, and a fourth memory cell of the nonvolatile memory cells may have a fourth resistance value less than the third resistance value and greater than the second resistance value in a fourth state.
