SYSTEM AND METHOD TO CONTROL A DIRECTION OF A CURRENT APPLIED TO A MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION
摘要
<p>A system and method to control a direction of a current applied to a magnetic tunnel junction (139) is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, an apparatus comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) storage element and a sense amplifier (102). The sense amplifier is coupled to a first path (114) and to a second path (116). The first path includes a first current direction selecting transistor (118) and the second path includes a second current direction selecting transistor (120). The first path is coupled to a bit line (140) of the MTJ storage element and the second path is coupled to a source line (142) of the MTJ storage element.</p>
