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.
