PROCESSING APPARATUSES INCLUDING MAGNETIC RESISTORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17834074 titled 'PROCESSING APPARATUSES INCLUDING MAGNETIC RESISTORS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a processing apparatus that includes a bit-cell array with multiple bit-cells connected in series. Each bit-cell has a first magnetic resistor that stores a resistance value based on the movement of a magnetic domain-wall, and a second magnetic resistor that stores a resistance value equal to or less than the first resistance value. The bit-cell also includes a first switching element to switch the electrical signal applied to the first magnetic resistor, and a second switching element to switch the electrical signal applied to the second magnetic resistor.

  • The processing apparatus includes a bit-cell array with multiple bit-cells connected in series.
  • Each bit-cell has a first magnetic resistor that stores a resistance value based on the movement of a magnetic domain-wall.
  • Each bit-cell also has a second magnetic resistor that stores a resistance value equal to or less than the first resistance value.
  • The bit-cell includes a first switching element to switch the electrical signal applied to the first magnetic resistor.
  • The bit-cell also includes a second switching element to switch the electrical signal applied to the second magnetic resistor.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various memory devices, such as non-volatile memory or magnetic random-access memory (MRAM).
  • It can also be used in data storage systems, where the ability to store resistance values based on magnetic domain-wall movement can enhance data storage capacity and reliability.

Problems Solved

  • The processing apparatus solves the problem of efficiently storing and retrieving data in memory devices.
  • By using magnetic resistors and switching elements, the apparatus provides a reliable and compact solution for data storage.

Benefits

  • The use of magnetic resistors allows for the storage of resistance values, which can represent data, in a compact and efficient manner.
  • The ability to switch the electrical signals applied to the magnetic resistors provides flexibility in reading and writing data.
  • The processing apparatus offers improved data storage capacity and reliability compared to traditional memory technologies.
