The disclosed nonvolatile ferroelectric memory device comprises: a memory
cell array including a plurality of memory cells connected to a plurality
of wordlines and a plurality of platelines, respectively; a read control
block configured to convert the data level voltage stored in the memory
cell into a corresponding data bit value of a plurality of data bit
values and output the converted value externally; and a write control
block configured to write a plurality of bit data inputted externally as
a corresponding data level voltage of a plurality of data level voltages
in the memory cell, wherein bitlines are layered into main bitline and
sub-bitline by reducing a current value corresponding to a sensing
voltage of the sub-bitline at an initial level of the main bit line. As a
result, the FRAM can write a plurality of data levels in one
ferroelectric memory cell.
