    Abstract: A method of reading data from a plurality of bits in a spin-torque magnetoresistive memory array includes performing one or more referenced read operations of the bits, and performing a self-referenced read operation, for example, a destructive self-referenced read operation, of any of the bits not successfully read by the referenced read operation. The referenced read operations can be initiated at the same time or prior to that of the destructive self-referenced read operation.

    Abstract: Precharging circuits and techniques are presented for use with magnetic memory devices in order to speed up access to the memory cells for reading and writing. Including precharging in the sense amplifiers used to access the memory cells enables self-referenced read operations to be completed more quickly than is possible without precharging. Similarly, precharging can also be used in conjunction with write-back operations in order to allow the data state stored by magnetic tunnel junctions included in the memory cells to be changed more rapidly.

    Abstract: A spin-torque magnetoresistive memory includes array read circuits and array write circuits coupled to an array of magnetic bits. The array read circuits sample magnetic bits in the array, apply a write current pulse to the magnetic bits to set them to a first logic state, resample the magnetic bits using an additional offset current, and compare the results of sampling and resampling to determine the bit state for each magnetic bit. For each of the magnetic bits in the page having the second logic state, the array write circuits initiate a write-back, wherein the write-back includes applying a second write current pulse having opposite polarity in comparison with the first write current pulse to set the magnetic bit to the second state. A read or write operation may be received after initiation of the write-back where the write-back can be aborted for a portion of the bits in the case of a write operation. The write-back may be performed such that different portions of the magnetic bits are written back at different times, thereby staggering the write-back current pulses in time.
