Abstract

The disclosure provides a circuit structure for storage and retrieval of data, and related methods. The circuit structure may include drive transistor having a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal coupled to a word line. A first resistive memory element coupled between the source terminal of the drive transistor and a first bit line may be in a first memory state. A second resistive memory element coupled between the drain terminal of the drive transistor and a second bit line may be in a second memory state opposite the first memory state. The structure may also include a read transistor having a source terminal coupled to the drain terminal of the drive transistor, a drain terminal coupled to ground, and a gate terminal coupled to a select line.
