A Variation-Aware Ternary True Random Number Generator Using Magnetic Tunnel Junction at Subcritical Current Regime

Fatemeh Khodayari et al.

Summary: This article proposes a variation-aware ternary true random number generator (TTRNG) that utilizes stochastic switching of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFET). The TTRNG generates ternary random numbers directly without the need for any converters. The combination of the stochastic behavior of the MTJ and the adjustability of the CNTFET threshold voltage allows for the implementation of ternary logic circuits. The proposed circuit is shown to operate correctly through circuit-level simulations and statistical simulations verify the excellent quality of the ternary sequence generated, even in the presence of process and voltage variations. The TTRNG has potential applications in cryptography and Monte Carlo simulations, and it can be implemented using FinFET technology.

A high-capacity and nonvolatile spintronic associative memory hardware accelerator

Mahan Rezaei et al.

Summary: Significant progress has been made in manufacturing emerging technologies, such as in-memory computing and neural networks. The proposed design of a nonvolatile associative memory based on spintronic synapses and carbon nanotube field-effect transistors shows promising features including reliable reconfiguration and nonvolatility. The design aims to increase memory capacity and accuracy by generating more weights in the synapse, and it performs well even with a low tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) value, which is important from a fabrication perspective.

Towards Nonvolatile Spintronic Quaternary Flip-Flop and Register Design

Motahareh BahmanAbadi et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a nonvolatile quaternary flip-flop (NQFF) based on the unique features of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) and magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). The proposed NQFF utilizes spin-Hall effect (SHE)-assisted spin-transfer torque (STT) MTJs to provide nonvolatility with lower write energy, and multi-Vt gate-all-around (GAA) CNTFETs offer higher performance. Furthermore, the delay of MTJ switching does not affect the delay of the whole circuit due to the usage of a shadow latch and the design of the proposed circuit. The simulation results show that the proposed NQFF offers 50% lower PDP when the system is idle for only 25% of its total operational time.
