Abstract

A digital memory having a plurality of locations where selectively coincident currents can be selected to flow in a pair of wordline structures, or with a wordline structure paired with a composite line structure (and possibly a bit line structure), to continue an existing, or switch to an opposite, edge magnetization state in a composite line structure or, alternatively, continue or switch a magnetization state in a storage film cell used to magnetically bias such a composite line structure.
