    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating a reference for use with a magnetic tunnel junction are provided. In an example, provided is a magnetoresistive read only memory including a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) storage element, a sense amplifier having a first input coupled to the MTJ storage element, and a reference resistance device coupled to a second input of the sense amplifier. The reference resistance device includes a plurality of groups of at least two reference MTJ devices. Each reference MTJ device in a respective group is coupled in parallel with each other reference MTJ device in the respective group. Each group is coupled in series with the other groups. This arrangement advantageously mitigates read disturbances and reference level variations, while saving power, reducing reference resistance device area, and increasing read speed.

    Abstract: In a memory having a first memory cell array, a second memory cell array, an address is received on an address port. Based on the address, an internal address is transmitted, and it is latched and held for a first interval as a first array address. The first memory cell array is accessed over the first interval, based on the first array address. Another address is received at the address port, during the first interval, and another internal address is transmitted, and latched and held for a second interval that overlaps the first interval, as a second array address. The second memory cell array is accessed during the second interval, based on the second array address.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting bit failures in a resistive memory device include dividing the memory device into a first memory bank and a second memory bank. A first single bit repair (SBR) array is stored in the second memory bank, wherein the first SBR array is configured to store a first indication of a failure in a first failed bit in a first row of the first memory bank. The first memory bank and the first SBR array are configured to be accessed in parallel during a memory access operation. Similarly, a second SBR array stored in the first memory bank can store indications of failures of bits in the second memory bank, wherein the second SBR array and the second memory bank can be accessed in parallel. Thus, bit failures in the first and second memory banks can be corrected in real time.

    Abstract: A memory module comprising a non-volatile cell array and a re-mapper. A page map table is stored in the non-volatile cell array, and includes mappings of old page addresses to new page addresses. The re-mapper is configured to direct memory operations referencing an old page address to the new page address that the old page address is mapped to. The mappings are created when a memory cell is determined to be in a failure state.
