  • Patent number: 8897047
    Abstract: An analog associative memory, which includes an array of coupled voltage or current controlled oscillators, matches patterns based on shifting frequencies away from a center frequency of the oscillators. Test and memorized patterns are programmed into the oscillators by varying the voltage or current that controls the oscillators. Matching patterns result in smaller shifts of frequencies and enable synchronization of oscillators. Non-matching patterns result in larger shifts and preclude synchronization of oscillators. The patterns may each include binary data and the pattern matching may be based on discrete shifts. The patterns may each include grayscale data and the pattern matching may be based on continuously-varied shifts. Other embodiments are described herein.

  • Publication number: 20140299953
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the fabrication of spin transfer torque memory elements for non-volatile microelectronic memory devices. The spin transfer torque memory element may include a magnetic tunneling junction connected with specifically sized and/or shaped fixed magnetic layer that can be positioned in a specific location adjacent a free magnetic layer. The shaped fixed magnetic layer may concentrate current in the free magnetic layer, which may result in a reduction in the critical current needed to switch a bit cell in the spin transfer torque memory element.

  • Publication number: 20140269034
    Abstract: An embodiment provides power (having low voltage, high current, and high current density) to ultra low voltage non-CMOS based devices using a distributed capacitor that is integrated onto the same chip as the non-CMOS devices. For example, an embodiment provides a spin logic gate adjacent dielectric material and first and second plates of a capacitor. The capacitor discharges low voltage/high current to the spin logic gate using a step down switched mode power supply that charges numerous capacitors during one clock cycle (using a switching element configured in a first orientation) and discharges power from the capacitors during the opposite clock cycle (using the switching element configured in a second orientation). The capacitors discharge the current out of plane and to the spin logic devices without having to traverse long power dissipating interconnect paths. Other embodiments are described herein.
