Abstract: A spin-transfer MRAM is described that has two sub-cells each having a conductive spacer between an upper CPP cell and a lower MTJ cell. The two conductive spacers in each bit cell are linked by a transistor which is controlled by a write word line. The two CPP cells in each bit cell have different resistance states and the MTJ cell and CPP cell in each sub-cell have different resistance states. The MTJ free layer rotates in response to switching in the CPP free layer because of a large demagnetization field exerted by the CPP free layer. An improved circuit design is disclosed that enables a faster and more reliable read process since the reference is a second MTJ within the same bit cell. When RMTJ1>RMTJ2, the bit cell has a “0” state, and when RMTJ1<RMTJ2, the bit cell has a “1” state.
