A method of operating magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) cells includes providing an MRAM cell, which includes a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) device; and a selector comprising a source-drain path serially coupled to the MTJ device. The method further includes applying an overdrive voltage to a gate of the selector to turn on the selector.

A method of operating magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) cells includes providing an MRAM cell, which includes a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) device and a word line selector having a source-drain path serially coupled to the MTJ device. A negative substrate bias voltage is connected to a body of the word line selector to increase the drive current of the word line selector. The threshold voltage of the word line selector is also reduced.

A method of writing a magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) cell includes providing a writing pulse to write a value to the MRAM cell; and verifying a status of the MRAM cell immediately after the step of providing the first writing pulse. In the event of a write failure, the value is rewritten into the MRAM cell.

A circuit includes magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) cell and a control circuit. The control circuit is electrically coupled to the MRAM cell, and includes a current source configured to provide a first writing pulse to write a value into the MRAM cell, and a read circuit configured to measure a status of the MRAM cell. The control circuit is further configured to verify whether a successful writing is achieved through the first writing pulse.

A magnetoresistive memory stores logic values in high and low resistance states of magnetic tunnel junction elements. Instead of comparing the resistance of elements to a fixed threshold to discern a logic state, the resistances of elements are self-compared before and after imposing a low resistance state. A measure of the resistance of an element in its unknown resistance state is stored, for example by charging a capacitor to a voltage produced when read current bias is applied. Then the element is written into its low resistance state and read current bias is applied again to develop another voltage, representing the low resistance state. A comparison circuit using current summing and an offset providing a minimum difference tolerance determines whether the resistance of the element was changed or remained the same. This determines the logic state of the element.

A piezoelectric buzzer includes a housing unit, a buzzer unit, and first and second terminals. The housing unit includes first and second housings coupled together. The second housing includes a base plate and a pair of spaced apart insert seats, each of which protrudes inwardly from the base plate toward the first housing and is formed with an insert hole. The buzzer unit is disposed in the resonant chamber and includes a vibrating plate and a piezoelectric plate attached to the vibrating plate. The first and second terminals are inserted respectively into the insert holes of the insert seats, and have a respective connection section extending outwardly of the housing unit, and a respective extending section abutting against a respective one of the vibrating plate and the piezoelectric plate.
