In this brief, a new write assist technique is proposed to improve the write characteristics of 1T-1MTJ STT-RAM bitcell through a symmetric write operation. This is done by applying a negative voltage to the bitline during write ‘1’ operation...

density (of dynamic RAM), and nonvolatility

(of flash memories). However, the write operation in the 1T-1MTJ STT-RAM bitcell is asymmetric and stochastic, which leads to high energy consumption and long latency. In this paper, a new write assist...
