ABSTRACT:
A new and improved magnetic device is provided for memories and sensors. A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device (20) includes a storage element (21) for magnetically storing states and an amplifier (25) for sensing the states stored in the storage element. A circuit (27) for dissipating electrical charges are coupled to inputs (23,24) of the amplifier (25) to discharge electrical charges applied to the inputs (23,24) of the amplifier (25). The charge dissipating circuit (27) includes junctions (271-274) which are typically connected in series between power (255) and common (257) lines. Electric charges applied to the inputs (23,24) of the amplifier (25) is discharged through the junctions (271-274).
