    Abstract: A pseudo-dual port memory address multiplexing system includes a control circuit (103) operative to identify a read request and a write request to be accomplished during a single clock cycle. A self time tracking circuit (105) monitors a read operation and generates a switching signal (WCLK) when the read operation is determined to be complete. A multiplexer (104) is responsive to the switching signal for selectively providing a read address and a write address to a memory address unit at the proper time.

    Abstract: Circuits, apparatuses, and methods of interposing a selectable delay in reading a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device are disclosed. A circuit includes a sense amplifier (160), having a first input (162), a second input (164), and an enable input (166); a first amplifier (132) coupled to an output of a magnetic resistance-based memory cell (112); a second amplifier (134) coupled to a reference output of the cell; and a digitally-controllable amplifier (136) coupled to a tracking circuit cell (116) that is similar to the cell of the MRAM. The first input of the sense amplifier is coupled to the first amplifier, the second input of the sense amplifier is coupled to the second amplifier, and the enable input is coupled to the third digitally-controllable amplifier via a logic circuit (150). The sense amplifier may generate an output value based on the amplified values received from the output of the magnetic resistance-based memory cell and the reference cell once the sense amplifier receives an enable signal (152) from the digitally-controllable amplifier via the logic circuit.

The first amplifier includes a clamp transistor (216) that has a second oxide thickness that is greater than the first oxide thickness. The clamp transistor is configured to prevent the operating voltage at the memory cell from exceeding the voltage limit.
