Abstract:
One aspect relates to a memory circuit that has a programmable non-volatile memory (NVM) cell configured to generate an NVM output signal indicative of a program state of the NVM cell and to configure a volatile output based on the program state of the NVM cell. The NVM cell comprises a first magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device, a first select device connected in series with the first MTJ device at a first node, and a first pass device. The memory circuit also may have a programmable (independently of the NVM cell) volatile memory (VM) cell configured to receive the NVM output signal at a VM input node and to generate a VM output signal indicative of the program state of the VM cell.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for operating a programmable Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) cell configured to generate an NVM output signal indicative of a program state of the NVM cell, the NVM cell comprising:\n a first magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device; a second MTJ device; a first select device connected with the first MTJ device at a first node; a second select device connected with the second MTJ device at a second node; a first pass device connected between the first node and a NVM output node and configured to selectively pass a voltage at the first node to the NVM output node; and a second pass device connected between the second node and the NVM output node and configured to selectively pass a voltage at the second node to the NVM output node, the method comprising reading a bit value from the NVM cell by:\n turning off the first select device; \n applying a read voltage to the first MTJ device; and \n turning on the first pass device to pass the voltage at the first node to the NVM output node; \n when the first MTJ device is in a first resistance mode, the voltage at the first node passed to the NVM output node will be at a first level; and \n when the first MTJ device is in a second resistance mode, the voltage at the first node passed to the NVM output node will be at a second level different from the first level.
