  • Patent number: 10373663
    Abstract: The present technique relates to a non-volatile memory circuit ensuring a small size and low power consumption while maintaining stable write. A slave latch is provided in an NVDFF, and magnetoresistive elements are connected to the slave latch. A store operation for writing information stored in the slave latch to the magnetoresistive elements is performed before power interruption, and a restore operation for reading out information stored in the magnetoresistive elements to the slave latch is performed at a time of return. The store operation and the restore operation use different paths between the slave latch and the magnetoresistive element. The present technique is applicable to a non-volatile memory circuit.

  • Patent number: 10373677
    Abstract: This invention relates to a semiconductor device that reduces energy consumed to write data to a nonvolatile storing section. A write control circuit 34 stores the same data as that held in MTJ elements MTJ1 and MTJ2. In a store operation storing the data held in a slave latch 32 into the MTJ elements MTJ1 and MTJ2, the write control circuit 34 compares the data stored therein with the data held in the slave latch 32 to control whether or not to write the data to the MTJ elements MTJ1 and MTJ2. If the internally stored data coincides with the data held in the slave latch 32, the write control circuit 34 performs control not to write the data to the MTJ elements MTJ1 and MTJ2.
