Abstract
Among all the emerging mem ories, Spin-Transfer
Torque Random Access Memory (STT-RAM) has demonstrated
many promising features such a s fast access speed, nonvolati lity,
excellent scalability, and compatibility to CMOS process. However,
the large process variations of b oth magnetic tunneling junction
(MTJ) and MOS transistors in the scaled technologies seve rely
limit the yield of STT-RAM chips. In this work, we proposed
a new sensing scheme, named as nondestructive self-reference
sensing, or
