Abstract
A method and system for providing a magnetic memory is included. The method and system include providing at least one magnetic storage cell and at least one dummy resistor coupled with the at least one magnetic storage cell at least for a write operation of the at least one magnetic storage cell. Each of the at least one magnetic storage cell includes a magnetic element and a selection device coupled with the magnetic element. The magnetic element being programmed by a first write current driven through the magnetic element in a first direction and a second write current driven through the magnetic element in a second direction. The selection device is configured to be coupled between the magnetic element and the at least one dummy resistor.
