  • Abstract
    The 4.5×6.3mm2 25ns cycle-time 4Mb Toggle MRAM memory, built in 0.18 μm 5M CMOS technology, uses a 1.55 μm2 bit cell with a single toggling magneto tunnel junction. The memory uses uni-directional programming currents with isolated write and read paths and balanced current mirror sense amplifier.
