  • Publication number: 20210390997
    Abstract: A method of operating a voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device is disclosed. The MTJ device is switchable between a first resistance state and a second resistance state. A first threshold voltage for switching the MTJ device from the second resistance state to the first resistance state is lower than a second threshold voltage for switching the MTJ device from the first resistance state to the second resistance state. The method includes applying a first voltage pulse across the MTJ device with an amplitude having an absolute value equal to or greater than the first threshold voltage and lower than the second threshold voltage, thereby setting the MTJ device to the first resistance state regardless of whether the MTJ device initially is in the first or second resistance state.

  • Publication number: 20210320829
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may include a power amplifier, a voltage generator, an antenna, and a communication processor. The CP determines whether an output waveform of the transmission signal which is output through the antenna is a first waveform or a second waveform. If the output waveform is the first waveform, the voltage generator generates a first output voltage for amplifying the first waveform by applying a first direct current (DC) power source of one or more first voltages. If the output waveform is the second waveform, the voltage generator generates a second output voltage for amplifying the second waveform by applying a second DC power source of a second voltage shifted by a designated level with respect to the first voltage, based on a peak power of the first waveform and a peak power of the second waveform.
