Abstract

A Magnetic Random Access Memory (“MRAM”) device includes an array of memory cells. The device generates reference signals that can be used to determine the resistance states of each memory cell in the array, despite variations in resistance due to manufacturing tolerances and other factors such as temperature gradients across the array, electromagnetic interference and aging.
