Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a magnetic memory device. In one embodiment, the magnetic memory device comprises a plurality of memory cells, and a plurality of write conductors adjacent the memory cells but electrically isolated from the memory cells, at least two of the write conductors being connected to a single shared switch, wherein the write conductors are configured to provide a path for current to flow to thereby generate magnetic fields used to change a state of the memory cells.
