Patent ID: 7289356

Claim:
A magnetic memory comprising: a plurality of magnetic storage cells, each of the plurality of magnetic storage cells including a plurality of magnetic elements capable of being programmed using spin transfer induced switching by a write current driven through the magnetic element, each of the plurality of magnetic elements having a first end and a second end, and at least one selection transistor coupled to the first end of each of the plurality of magnetic elements, the plurality of magnetic elements including at least a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element; a plurality of word lines coupled with the plurality of selection transistors and for selectively enabling a portion of the plurality of selection transistors; a plurality of bit lines; a plurality of bit line selection transistors coupled with the plurality of bit lines, for selectively enabling a portion of the plurality of bit lines; and a plurality of data lines for each of the plurality of magnetic storage cells, a first data line of the plurality of data lines coupled with the second end of the first magnetic element and a second data line of the plurality of data lines coupled with the second end of the second magnetic element, the plurality of data lines for providing a write current during writing and a sense current during reading of the plurality of magnetic storage cells.
