Abstract:
A magneto-resistive memory comprising:two or more elongated magneto-resistive bits each having an axis along its length; two or more elongated word lines, each and having an axis along its length and each extending adjacent a corresponding one of the magneto-resistive bits; an elongated digital line extending adjacent each of the two or more magneto-resistive bits, wherein the elongated digital line approaches a first magneto-resistive bit from a first direction and a second magneto-resistive bit from a second direction; the axis of each of the elongated magneto-resistive bits being substantially perpendicular to the axis of the corresponding elongated word line; andthe elongated digital line extending substantially parallel to the axis of each elongated word line at least in the region of each magneto-resistive bit.
