Abstract:
In one embodiment, a bit state in a supply-switched dual cell memory bitcell in accordance with the present description, may be read by coupling a supply line to a common node of the bitcell to drive complementary currents through complementary resistance state storage cells for a pair of complementary bit line signal lines of the bitcell. The bit state of the bitcell may be read by sensing complementary bit state signals on the pair of first and second complementary bit line signal lines. In one embodiment, each resistance state storage cell has a resistance state ferromagnetic device such as a magnetic-tunneling junction (MTJ). In one embodiment, a supply-switched dual cell memory bitcell in accordance with the present description may lack a source or select line (SL) signal line. Other aspects are described herein.
