    Abstract: In some examples, a memory device is configured to load multiple pages of an internal page size into a cache in response to receiving an activate command and to write multiple pages of the internal page size into a memory array in response to receiving a precharge command. In some implementations, the memory array is arranged to store multiple pages of the internal page size in a single physical row.

    Abstract: A write driver for writing to a spin-torque magnetoresistive random access memory (ST-MRAM) minimizes sub-threshold leakage of the unselected (off) word line select transistors in the selected column. An effective metal resistance in the bit line and/or source line is reduced and power supply noise immunity is increased. Write driver bias signals are isolated from global bias signals, and a first voltage is applied at one end of a bit line using one of a first NMOS-follower circuit or a first PMOS-follower circuit. A second voltage is applied at opposite ends of a source line using, respectively, second and third PMOS- follower circuits, or second and third NMOS-follower circuits.

    Abstract: A memory having a delayed write-back to the array of data corresponding to a previously opened page allows delays associated with write-back operations to be avoided. After an initial activation opens a first page and the read/write operations for that page are complete, write-back of the open page to the array of memory cells is delayed until after completion of a subsequent activate operation that opens a new page. Techniques to force a write-back in the absence of another activate operation are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Circuitry and a method provide self-referenced sensing of a resistive memory cell by using its characteristic of resistance variation with applied voltage in one state versus a relatively constant resistance regardless of the applied voltage in its opposite state. Based on an initial bias state with equalized resistances, a current comparison at a second bias state between a mock bit line and a bit line is used to determine the state of the memory cell, since a significant difference in current implies that the memory cell state has a significant voltage coefficient of resistance. An offset current applied to the mock bit line optionally may be used to provide symmetry and greater sensing margin.

    Abstract: A method includes destructively reading bits of a spin torque magnetic random access memory, using error correcting code (ECC) for error correction, and storing inverted or non-inverted data in data-store latches. When a subsequent write operation changes the state of data-store latches, parity calculation and majority detection of the bits are initiated. A majority bit detection and potential inversion of write data minimizes the number of write current pulses. A subsequent write operation received within a specified time or before an original write operation is commenced will cause the majority detection operation to abort.
