ABSTRACT:
A Hall effect ferromagnetic non-volatile random access memory cell comprising a Hall effect sensor adjacent to a ferromagnetic bit which is surrounded by a drive coil. The coil is electrically connected to a drive circuit, and when provided with an appropriate current creates a residual magnetic field in the ferromagnetic bit, the polarity of which determines the memory status of the cell. The Hall effect sensor is electrically connected via four conductors to a voltage source, ground, and two read sense comparator lines for comparing the voltage output to determine the memory status of the cell. The read and write circuits are arranged in a matrix of bit columns and byte rows. A method for manufacturing said Hall effect ferromagnetic non-volatile random access memory cell.
