A resistance change memory includes two memory cell arrays each including a plurality of memory cells, the memory cells including variable resistive elements, two reference cell arrays provided to correspond to the two memory cell arrays, respectively, and each including a plurality of reference cells, the reference cells having a reference value, and a sense amplifier shared by the two memory cell arrays and detecting data in an accessed memory cell by use of a reference cell array corresponding to a second memory cell array different from a first memory cell array including the accessed memory cell. In reading the data, a particular reference cell in one reference cell array is always activated for an address space based on one memory cell array as a unit.
