A magnetic random access memory having an extended address transition detection circuit having a chip enable input, a chip write enable input, a data bus connection, and an address bus connection. The extended address transition detection circuit has an extended transition detection signal output. The magnetic random access memory has a timing controller with a timing control input connected to the address transition detection signal output. The chip enable input, the chip write enable input, the data bus connection, and the address bus connection are buffered and driven off chip.
