Abstract

MRAM architectures are disclosed that produce an increased write margin and write selectivity without significantly reducing the packing density of the memory. The major axes of the magneto-resistive bits are offset relative to the axes of the digital lines to produce a magnetic field component from the digital line current that extends along the major axis of the magneto-resistive bits.
