Abstract:
A resistive memory apparatus and a reading method thereof are provided. In this method, two reading pulses are applied to a resistive memory cell, such that a first reading resistance and a second reading resistance of the resistive memory cell at different temperatures are sequentially obtained. Next, a resistive state of the second reading resistance is determined according to the reading resistances and the temperatures corresponding to the reading resistances. Thereafter, a logic level of storage data of the resistive memory cell is determined according to the resistive state of the second reading resistance.
