Claim:
1. A magnetic device, comprising: a polarizing layer configured to provide a first spin-torque, wherein the polarizing layer is magnetized perpendicular to a free layer; a free layer having a magnetization vector having at least a first stable state and a second stable state, wherein the free layer is magnetized parallel to a plane of the free layer; a reference layer configured to provide a second spin-torque, wherein the first spin-torque and the second spin-torque combine, wherein the combined first spin-torque and second spin-torque influences the magnetic state of the free layer, wherein application of a first voltage pulse, having either positive or negative polarity and a selected amplitude and duration, through the magnetic device causes the magnetization vector to oscillate between the first stable state and the second stable state for a portion of the duration regardless of an initial state of the magnetization vector; and a magnetic tunnel junction formed by the free layer and the reference layer.
