Claim Text:
1. A magnetoresistive memory, comprising: a memory space having a programmable free layer; a read module having a first pinned layer and a write module having a second pinned layer, both modules in communication with the memory space; a write module circuit directly coupled to the memory space via a first electrically conductive contact and to the write module via a second electrically conductive contact and that operably imparts a write current at a first selected magnitude that passes through the first and second electrically conductive contacts to write data to the free layer; and a read module circuit directly coupled to the memory space via the first electrically conductive contact and to the read module via a third electrically conductive contact and that operably imparts a read current at a second selected magnitude different than the first selected magnitude that passes through the second and third electrically conductive contacts to read data from the free layer.
