摘要: A data storage device comprising a first memory cell string that includes at least a first magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell coupled to a second MRAM cell and a circuit coupled to a node between the first MRAM cell and the second MRAM cell is provided. The circuit is configured to detect a voltage change at the node in response to a voltage being provided to the memory cell string and in response to a write sense current being applied across the first MRAM cell.

摘要: A method of performing a read operation from a first memory cell in a memory cell string that includes a first memory cell coupled to a second memory cell. The method includes providing a voltage to a first end of the first memory cell string that is closest to the first memory cell, providing a ground source to a second end of the first memory cell string that is opposite the first end, and determining whether a voltage change occurred at a node between the first and second memory cells in response to writing the first memory cell to a first state.
