A memory is provided that simplifies a fabrication process and structure by reducing the number of source lines and bitlines accessible to circuitry outside of the memory array. The memory has first and second row groups comprising a plurality of memory elements each coupled to one each of a plurality of M bit lines; first and second local source lines and first and second word lines, each coupled to each of the plurality of memory elements; and circuitry coupled to the first and second word lines and configured to select one of the first and second row groups, and coupled to the plurality of M bit lines and configured to apply current of magnitude N through the memory element in the selected row group coupled to one of the plurality of M bit lines by applying current of magnitude less than N to two or more of the remaining M-1 bit lines. |
