Abstract

A magnetoresistive random access memory array and signal processing system which provides an improved signal to noise ratio. The basic memory complex associated with the storage of a single binary digit is a quad of memory elements or cells which are addressed in complementary fashion. The enhanced read-out signal discrimination is had by utilizing a double-correlated double-sampling differential signal processing system in which complementary data is serially passed through the same path with repeated high-speed differencing which greatly reduces nonuniformity fixed patterns as well as correlated low frequency temporal noise.
