Patent abstract
Precharging circuits and techniques are presented for use with magnetic memory devices in order to speed up access to the memory cells for reading and writing. Including precharging in the sense amplifiers used to access the memory cells enables self-referenced read operations to be completed more quickly than is possible without precharging. Similarly, precharging can also be used in conjunction with write-back operations in order to allow the data state stored by magnetic tunnel junctions included in the memory cells to be changed more rapidly.
