Description

Magnetic random access memory chip architecture using common reference voltage
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of memory technology, and more particularly, to a magnetic random access memory chip architecture using a common reference voltage.
Background
The read circuit of the MRAM (Magnetic random access memory, MRAM) needs to detect the resistance of the MRAM memory cell, and since the resistance of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ; magnetic Tunnel Junction) drifts with temperature, the general method is to use the memory cell on the chip that has been written to a high resistance state or a low resistance state as a reference cell, and then use a Sense Amplifier (Sense Amplifier) to compare the resistances of the memory cell and the reference cell. Because the resistances of the memory cells at different positions in the magnetic random access memory cell array are slightly different due to different lengths of the connecting wires, the memory cells in the same row are compared with the reference cells, and the difference of the resistances of the wires is mostly counteracted, but the reference cells occupy a part of the area of the array after all, so that the usable area of the memory cells is reduced, the reference cells and the memory cells must be simultaneously electrified during the reading operation, the power consumption of a chip is increased, the reference cells consist of a plurality of columns, namely, the number of bit columns read each time must be enough to ensure the control of statistical deviation, but the larger the number of the bit columns read, the larger the area of the reference cells and the power consumption are increased.
U.S. patent No. Pat.7321507 discloses a technique for MRAM reference cell deployment in subarrays. Wherein the MRAM reference cell sub-array provides a midpoint reference current to the sense amplifier. MRAM cells of the MRAM reference cell sub-array are arranged in rows and columns. A bit line is associated with each column of the subarray. Bit lines that are coupled in pairs of columns are disposed proximate to the sense amplifiers. The MRAM cells of the first pair of pillars are programmed to a first magnetoresistive state and the MRAM cells of the second pair of pillars are programmed to a second magnetoresistive state. When a row of data MRAM cells is selected for reading, a row of paired MRAM reference cells are placed in parallel to generate a midpoint reference current for sensing.
U.S. Pat. No. 8693273 discloses a Sense Amplifier (Sense Amplifier) that includes a voltage detector or a current detector. The sense amplifier generates reference currents from programmed and non-programmed reference cells for reading signals from a Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) including Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) cells. The average current is determined by one sense amplifier and a reference cell of the n sense amplifiers, which acts as the average current between the programmed reference cell and the non-programmed reference cell, approximately midway between the two states. That is, when the MRAM performs data reading, a plurality of P-state and AP-state reference cells are simultaneously powered on in this way, and the reference voltages are obtained on average. The sense amplifier may be a fully differential or non-differential sense amplifier.
