    摘要: A system and method to control a direction of a current applied to a magnetic tunnel junction is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, an apparatus comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) storage element and a sense amplifier. The sense amplifier is coupled to a first path and to a second path. The first path includes a first current direction selecting transistor and the second path includes a second current direction selecting transistor. The first path is coupled to a bit line of the MTJ storage element and the second path is coupled to a source line of the MTJ storage element.

    摘要: A method writes data to a resistive memory, such as spin torque transfer magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM). The method writes received bits of data to a memory cell array, in response to a first write signal. The method also reads stored data from the memory cell array, after the first write signal is generated, and then compares the stored data with the received bits of data to determine whether each of the received bits of data was written to the memory. In response to a second write signal, received bits of data determined not to have been written during the first write signal, are written.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing a clock signal to a charge pump is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the method includes providing a first clock signal to a first charge pump unit of a charge pump. The method further includes providing a second clock signal to a second charge pump unit of the charge pump. A low-to-high transition of the first clock signal occurs substantially concurrently with a high-to-low transition of the second clock signal. Only one clock signal may be at a logic high voltage level at any given time.
