FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to memory having a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure. The device includes a read path (102) connected to the MTJ structure and a write path (104) connected to the MTJ structure. The write path (104) is separate from the read path (102). The device also includes a pair of series-connected MTJ structures (106, 108), whereby the read path (102) comprises only one of the MTJ structure (108).
EFFECT: higher read and write margins in a STT-MRAM device and low write current required for storing data values in the STT-MRAM device.
