      Abstract
      Spin-transfer torque random access memory (STTRAM) is one promising candidate for future non-volatile memory based computing, because of its fast access time, high integration density and non-volatility. One major challenge of STT-RAM is to design robust readout circuit in the presence of large MTJ resistance variations. The lack of SPICE-like platform hinders the design validation for hybrid STT-MTJ and CMOS memory structure and readout circuits. In this paper, we have introduced the recently developed NVM-SPICE for the design of STT-RAM with large memory array and also non-destructive single-sawtooth pulse based STT-RAM readout. Compared to the simulation by equivalent circuit, the NVM-SPICE shows 117x faster simulation time for large-array STT-RAM. Moreover, validated by the NVM-SPICE, the proposed single-sawtooth pulse based readout shows 2x faster read latency with 8x larger sensing margin than the existing readout schemes.
