Abstract:
An electronic device including a semiconductor memory. The semiconductor memory may include a cell array including a plurality of resistive storage cells; a current code generation block suitable for generating a current code which has a value corresponding to an average value of current amounts of test currents respectively flowing through at least two first resistive storage cells among the plurality of resistive storage cells, in a test operation; and a sensing block suitable for comparing a read current flowing through a second resistive storage cell selected among the plurality of resistive storage cells with a reference current, and thereby sensing data of the second resistive storage cell, wherein the semiconductor memory is operable to adjust a current amount of at least one current flowing through the sensing block based on the value of the current code.
