This paper presents a high-precision sense amplifier and a fast write throughput technique of a 32Mb embedded STT-MRAM macro in a 22nm process for high-end microcontroller units. Boosted cross-couple sense amplifier achieves 5.1ns and 5.9ns random read access at Tj of 125°C and 150°C, respectively. A variable parallel bit write with fast voltage setup sequence enables 5.8MB/s write throughput and 65-69% reduction in write energy consumption. |
