Abstract

See full text

A write driver circuit for a magnetic random access memory includes a memory cell array including a plurality of magnetic memory cells in which a pair of magnetic memory cells adjacent to each other in a direction of a bit line share a source line, and each magnetic memory cell is connected between the bit line and the source line. The write driver circuit includes a switching unit connected between a terminal for supplying a positive recording voltage and a terminal for supplying a negative recording voltage to selectively supply current generated by the positive recording voltage or the negative recording voltage to the bit line according to a write enable signal and a data signal.
