Abstract

A memory device which includes a magnetic memory unit for storing a burst of data during burst write operations, each burst of data includes, sequential data units with each data unit being received at a clock cycle, and written during a burst write operation, wherein the burst write operation is performed during multiple clock cycles. Further, the memory device includes a mask register coupled to the magnetic memory unit that generates a write mask during the burst write operation to inhibit or enable write of the data units of the burst of data, the memory device allowing a next burst write or read command to begin before the completion of the burst write operation and while receiving data units of the next burst of data to be written or providing read data.
