Abstract

An apparatus includes two or more magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), including a first MTJ having a first magnetic characteristic and a second MTJ having a second magnetic characteristic. The first magnetic characteristic is distinct from the second magnetic characteristic. The first magnetic characteristic is based on a first magnetic anisotropy and a first offset field on a first storage layer of the first MTJ. The second magnetic characteristic is based on a second magnetic anisotropy and a second offset field on a second storage layer of the second MTJ, The apparatus further includes a metallic separator coupling the first MTJ with the second MTJ, wherein the first MTJ and the second MTJ are arranged in series.
