A Low-Power MRAM-Based Nonvolatile Flip-Flop Architecture for Register and System Applications

A Low-Power MRAM-Based Nonvolatile Flip-Flop Architecture for Register and System Applications 150 150
Author(s): Bayartulga Ishdorj, Taehui Na

Abstract:

This work presents a minimal nonvolatile flip-flop (NVFF) hybrid architecture and an NV static contention-free differential FF (nvSCDFF) cell that reduces the overhead associated with replicated NV circuitry in conventional in situ NVFFs while enabling low power. By using only one NVFF per column and compact SCDFF-based volatile flip-flops (FFs), …

PERCEL: A Rewritable NVM CIM Incorporating a CTT-Based Per-Cell DAC

PERCEL: A Rewritable NVM CIM Incorporating a CTT-Based Per-Cell DAC 150 150
Author(s): Samyak Chakrabarty, Vinod Jacob, Mohammadreza Zeinali, Georgios Karfakis, Siyun Qiao, Ziyi Guo, Puneet Gupta, Subramanian Iyer, Sudhakar Pamarti

Abstract:

Compute-in-memory (CiM) accelerators perform matrix vector multiplications (MVMs) directly inside memory arrays, reducing data movement and improving both energy efficiency and throughput for artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. To reduce the number of conversions, recent designs use multibit compute cells. Nevertheless, practical multibit CiM still faces a tension among accuracy, efficiency, …

Non-Volatile ReRAM-Based Compact Event-Triggered Counters

Non-Volatile ReRAM-Based Compact Event-Triggered Counters 150 150
Author(s): Moin Diwan, Shengchao Zhang, Zidu Li, Alex James, Bhaskar Choubey

Abstract:

With an increasing number of transistors per circuit, the fabrication cost and the energy consumption of each integrated circuits increase exponentially, which drives the need to reduce the number of transistors. In this study, we explore a novel design for a 16-bit digital counter that utilizes a combination of complementary …

Reference-Load Sharing Scheme: An Area- and Energy-Efficient Nonvolatile Register Design Using MTJ Devices

Reference-Load Sharing Scheme: An Area- and Energy-Efficient Nonvolatile Register Design Using MTJ Devices 150 150
Author(s): Masanori Natsui, Tomoo Yoshida, Takahiro Hanyu

Abstract:

This article proposes a circuit configuration for an area- and energy-efficient nonvolatile register using magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices, suitable for persistent computation in intermittent computing environments. The proposed configuration, named the reference-load sharing scheme (RLSS), stores 1 bit of information using the resistance of a dedicated MTJ device and a …
