Claim:
1. A method for writing to and reading from a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) array, each memory cell in the array comprising of a memory cell select nTron (SnT) and a memory element, the method comprising: selecting a memory cell of the MRAM array by driving a word line and a bit line by a line select nTron (LnT), wherein the LnT has a higher current drive than the SnT; performing a memory write operation to a single MRAM cell by applying an nTron signal at a gate of the SnT of the single MRAM cell to switch the SnT to a resistive state; and performing a memory read operation from the single MRAM cell by applying a Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) signal at a gate of the SnT of the single MRAM cell to switch the SnT to a resistive state, applying a current to the memory element smaller than a critical current of the memory element to keep the memory element at its current state while being read, and sensing the voltage at the memory element to determine the resistive state of the memory element.
