Abstract
An example device for performing a write operation, the device including a Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) element and processing circuitry. The MTJ element including a free structure, a pinned structure, and a tunnel barrier arranged between the free structure and the pinned structure. The processing circuitry is configured to receive an instruction to set the MTJ element to a low-resistance state and provide a write voltage to the MTJ element such that the tunnel barrier breaks down to generate a low-resistance channel between the free structure and the pinned structure.
