Abstract

Method and apparatus for writing data to a magnetic memory cell, such as a spin-torque transfer random access memory (STRAM) memory cell. In accordance with various embodiments, a write current is applied through a selected magnetic memory cell to initiate magnetic precession of the selected cell to a desired magnetic state. A field assist current is concurrently flowed through an adjacent memory cell to generate a magnetic field that assists in the precession of the selected cell to the desired magnetic state.
