Abstract
A magnetic memory cell in which a sensor is magnetically coupled to a magnetic media wherein the separation of the magnetic media from the sensor permits each to be magnetically optimized separate from the other, thus improving defect tolerance and minimizing the magnetic influence of neighboring cells in an array on one another. In an embodiment, the read circuitry is positioned so that no read current passes through the media during a read operation. In an alternative embodiment, processing is simplified but the read current is allowed to pass through the media.
