ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of a magnetic memory cell includes a first line and a sense layer in electrical communication with the first line. A reference layer line is configured to carry a sense current received from the sense layer. The sense current flows from the first line through the sense layer and away from the memory cell via the reference layer to determine a resistive state of the memory cell.
