Abstract:
Techniques for reading a Multi-Bit Cell (MBC) can include sensing a state parameter value, such as source line voltage, and applying a successive one of N programming parameter values, such as successive programming currents, between instances of sensing the state parameter values. The N successive programming parameter values can be selected to switch the state of a corresponding one of N cell elements of the MBC. Successive ones of the sensed state parameter values can be compared to determine N state change results, which can be used to determine the read state of the MBC.

Claim (Index 14):
A method comprising:\n sensing a first instance of state parameter of a Multi-Bit Cell (MBC), wherein the MBC includes a first and a second cell element having different sets of state parameter values and having different pinned magnetization polarizations; programming the MBC using a first set of state programming conditions after sensing the first state parameter value, wherein the first cell element will be in a first state after programming; sensing a second instance of the state parameter of the MBC after programming the MBC using the first set of state programming conditions; comparing the second instance of the state parameter to the first instance of the state parameter, to determine a first state change result; programming the MBC using a second set of state programming conditions after sensing the second instance of the state parameter, wherein the first cell element will be in a second state after programming; sensing a third instance of the state parameter of the MBC after programming the MBC using the second set of state programming conditions; comparing the third instance of the state parameter to the second instance of the state parameter, to determine a second state change result; and outputting a read state of the MBC based on the first state change result and the second state change result.
