Reconfigurable Circuits Using Hybrid Hall Effect Devices

Abstract. Hybrid Hall effect (HHE) devices are a new class of reconfigurable logic devices that incorporate ferromagnetic elements to deliver nonvolatile operation. A single HHE device may be configured on a cycle-bycycle basis to perform any of four different logical computations (OR, AND, NOR, NAND), and will retain its state indefinitely, even if the power supply is removed from the device. In this paper, we introduce the HHE device and describe a number of reconfigurable circuits based on HHE devices, including reconfigurable logic gates and non-volatile table lookup cells.
