Abstract:
In some embodiments, the present application provides a memory device. The memory device includes a memory cell array comprising a plurality of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) memory cells arranged in columns and rows, a read bias circuit connected to the memory cell array and configured to provide a reading bias for a MTJ memory cell of the memory cell array, and a first non-linear resistance device connected in series and between the MTJ memory cell and the read bias circuit. The first non-linear resistance device is configured to provide a first resistance when conducting a first current and a second resistance greater than the first resistance when conducting a second current smaller than the first current.
