Abstract(in English) This paper presents a nonvolatile LUT (Lookup-Table) circuit in FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) using a MTJ (Magnetic Tunnel Junction) device-based logic technology. To utilize a capability of MTJ devices, the combinational logic circuitry is implemented based on differential current-mode logic methodology. Since the circuit performs current-mode logic operations under low voltage swing, the variation of current flows through MTJ devices can be applied as logic signals directly with no signal amplification. It results in a compact circuit implementation. The proposed LUT circuit fabricated by a 0.14μm CMOS/MTJ-hybrid process achieves area reduction by 2/3 compared to a conventional SRAM-based one, and complete elimination of standby power dissipation.
