Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The paper presents a new circuit style called "TMR logic" combining TMR (tunneling magnetoresistive) devices with connected MOS pass-transistor network, which results merging storage function into logic circuit plane with a small area. Since the TMR device can be regarded as a variable resistor with non-volatile storage capability, the logic function can be realized by series and parallel connection of the TMR devices and transistors. As a typical example, a content-addressable memory (CAM) where magnitude-compare in a bit-parallel fashion simply implemented based on TMR logic and its performance improvement is also demonstrated.
