Publication number: 20250022498Abstract: A first circuit outputs first information indicating presence/absence of a magnetic wall between two adjacent portions among portions of a magnetic body, and second information based on the combination of magnetization states of the two portions. A first storage circuit stores first bits corresponding to the portions. A most significant bit of the first bits has a value independent of a magnetization state of a corresponding one of the portions, and the first bits have a value based on the first information. A second storage circuit stores the second information. The second circuit causes the first storage circuit to output the first bits when a value of a least significant bit of the first bits matches a value of the second information, and otherwise third bits having inverse values of the first bits.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: Kioxia CorporationInventors: Shogo MUTO, Masanobu SHIRAKAWA, Hideki YAMADA, Ryo YAMAKI, Yoshihiro UEDA, Tsuyoshi KONDO
