MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION DEVICE WITH SEPARATE READ AND WRITE PATHS

摘要

In an embodiment, a device is disclosed that includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure. The device also includes a read path (102) coupled to the MTJ structure and a write path (104) coupled to the MTJ structure. The write path (104) is separate from the read path (102). The device in substance comprises a pair of serially coupled MTJ structures (106, 108), whereby the read path (102) comprises only one of the MTJ structure (108). This provides for combined improved read margin and improved write margin.
