Wide operation margin of toggle mode switching for magnetic random access memory with preceding negative pulse writing scheme

Abstract

In this work, a writing scheme with preceding negative pulse wave form for toggle magnetic random access memory (MRAM) is proposed to enhance the switching yield and enable a low current switching. The failure mechanism of toggle switching is studied by micromagnetic analysis. As a result of broadened operation window and reduced switching current, the scalability of MRAM is feasible with the robust toggle operation. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
