The possibility of creating spin-valve magneto-resistive memory elemen
ts is investigated. High- and low-anisotropic soft films produced from
common alloys are used to generate the spin-valve effect. Various met
hods of controlling the spin-valve magneto-resistive memory elements a
re compared. A control method is designed in which less stringent requ
irements are imposed on the scatter of the parameters of magneto-resis
tive memory elements than in the well-known. methods. This method ampl
ifies the reading signal and widens the control current range for high
data density.
