摘要:
A sense amplifier comprising a reference current developed from a programmed and a non-programmed reference cell is used to read a signal from a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) comprising magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) cells. The average current is determined from reference cells in as few as one sense amplifier and as many as n sense amplifiers, and is an average current between the programmed reference cell and the non-programmed reference cell that approximates the mid point between the two states. The sense amplifier can be fully differential or a non differential sense amplifier.
