A magnetic memory array with an improved word line configuration is provided. In some embodiments, the magnetic memory array may be adapted to selectively supply voltage from a single source line to one or more transistors arranged within a first row of the magnetic memory array and to one or more transistors arranged within a second row of the magnetic memory array. In addition or alternatively, the magnetic memory array may be configured to enable current flow along a single current path through a magnetic junction and along multiple paths extending from the single current path to a plurality of transistors. In some embodiments, the plurality of transistors may be formed from a contiguous conductive structure comprising the word line. In some cases, the word line may be configured to include at least two transistors that share a common diffusion region.
A circuit, comprising:
A magnetic random access memory array comprising a memory cell with a word line having gates of a first transistor, a second transistor, and a third transistor that share a common diffusion region, wherein the gates of the first and second transistors are arranged such that their widths are respectively aligned with a length and a width of the magnetic random access memory array.
A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) array, comprising:
