ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing a magnetic memory is disclosed. The method and system include providing a plurality of magnetic storage cells in an array, a plurality of bit lines, and at least one bias structure. Each of the plurality of magnetic storage cells includes at least one magnetic element having an easy axis and being programmable by at least one write current driven through the magnetic element. The plurality of bit lines corresponds to the plurality of magnetic storage cells. The at least one bias structure is magnetically coupled with the at least one magnetic element in each of the plurality of magnetic storage cells. The at least one bias structure provides a bias field in a direction greater than zero degrees and less than one hundred eighty degrees from the easy axis.
