Abstract

A method for determining an optimized write pattern for low write error rate operation of a spin torque magnetic random access memory. The method provides a way to optimize the write error rate without affecting the memory speed. The method comprises one or more write pulses. The pulses may be independent in amplitude, duration and shape. Various exemplary embodiments adjust the write pattern based on the memory operating conditions, for example, operating temperature.
