Compact Low-Power Instant Store and Restore D Flip-Flop using a Self-Complementing Spintronic Device

چکیده
In order to simplify power-gating requirements in ultra-low-power architectures, design strategies for lowpower non-volatile flip-flops are sought, for which the utilization of spintronic devices offers a promising option. In this paper, we introduce a D F/F that utilizes a 5-terminal spintronic device for non-volatile state-holding in an intrinsically selfcomplementing fashion. This self-complementing device can be exploited to reduce overhead interfacing circuitry in order to realize a compact ten transistors with one spintronic device (10T 1R) D F/F with instant store and restore functionality, while consuming less than 9uW of power.
