Patent ID: RE40995

Claim:
A magnetic random access memory cell comprising: a first magnetic storage element having a first sense layer and a first pinned layer; a second magnetic storage element having a second sense layer and a second pinned layer, said first and second sense layers being mutually electrically coupled through first and second read conductors, said first and second read conductors having respective longitudinal axes, said first and second pinned layers being electrically coupled to respective first and second read/write conductors, said first and second read/write conductors having at least localized longitudinal axes in respective vicinities of said first and second magnetic storage elements, said at least localized longitudinal axes of said first read/write conductor being oriented substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said first read conductor; a switching device coupled to said mutually coupled pinned layers through said first and second read conductors and configured to couple said mutually coupled pinned layers to a conductor for receiving a substantially constant potential.
