Claim 10:
11. A magnetic junction memory device comprising:
a first single-transistor common-gate amplifier circuit including a first transistor which is gated by a gating voltage and connected to a first sensing node, the first single-transistor common-gate amplifier circuit configured to determine a voltage of the first sensing node by applying a first read current to a magnetic junction memory cell;
a gating voltage generator circuit configured to generate the gating voltage of the first transistor using a reference resistor and a reference voltage;
a precharge circuit configured to precharge voltages of first and second output nodes to the reference voltage; and
a latch configured to
develop the voltages of the first and second output nodes in accordance with the voltage of the first sensing node, and
latch data stored in the magnetic junction memory cell based on the developed voltages of the first and second output nodes.
