    摘要: A memory unit includes a giant magnetoresistance cell electrically coupled between a write bit line and a write source line. The giant magnetoresistance cell includes a free magnetic layer separated from a first pinned magnetic layer by a first non-magnetic electrically conducting layer. A magnetic tunnel junction data cell is electrically coupled between a read bit line and a read source line. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell includes the free magnetic layer separated from a second pinned magnetic layer by an oxide barrier layer. A write current passes through the giant magnetoresistance cell to switch the giant magnetoresistance cell between a high resistance state and a low resistance state. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell is configured to switch between a high resistance state and a low resistance state by magnetostatic coupling with the giant magnetoresistance cell, and be read by a read current passing though the magnetic tunnel junction data cell.

    摘要: A memory unit includes a magnetic tunnel junction data cell is electrically coupled to a bit line and a source line. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell is configured to switch between a high resistance state and a low resistance state by passing a write current through the magnetic tunnel junction data cell. A first diode is electrically between the magnetic tunnel junction data cell and the source line and a second diode is electrically between the magnetic tunnel junction data cell and the source line. The first diode and second diode are in parallel electrical connection, and having opposing forward bias directions. The memory unit is configured to be precharged to a specified precharge voltage level and the precharge voltage is less than a threshold voltage of the first diode and second diode.
