摘要
A spin transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) device and a method to perform operations of an embedded eFlash device are disclosed. The STT-MRAM device is configured to include an array of STT-MRAM bitcells. The array includes a plurality of bitlines (BLs) and a plurality of word lines (WLs), where the bitlines form columns and the wordlines form rows of STT-MRAM bitcells. Each STT-MRAM bitcell includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element coupled in series to an access transistor having a gate terminal and source and drain terminals. The array includes a plurality of source lines (SLs) coupled to the source terminals of the access transistors. A SL of the plurality of SLs is coupled to source terminals of access transistors of two or more adjacent columns of the STT-MRAM cells. The shared SL is parallel to the plurality of BLs. The operations of such a STT-MRAM bitcell are configured to include: an initialization operation, a program operation, and a sector erase operation.
