dc.description.abstract | An area-efficient non-volatile flip flop (NVFF) is proposed. Two minimum-sized Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) and two magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices are added on top of a conventional D flip-flop for temporary storage during the power-down. An area overhead of the temporary storage is minimized by reusing a part of the D flip-flop and an energy overhead is reduced by a current-reuse technique. In addition, two optimization strategies of the use of the proposed NVFF are proposed: (1) A module-based placement in a design phase for minimizing the area overhead; and (2) a dynamic write pulse modulation at runtime for reducing the energy overhead. We evaluated the proposed NVFF circuit using a compact MTJ model targeting an implementation in a 10 nm technology node. Results indicate that area overhead is 6.9% normalized to the conventional flip flop. Compared to the best previously known NVFFs, the proposed circuit succeeded in reducing the area by 4.1x and the energy by 1.5x. The proposed placement strategy of the NVFF shows an improvement of nearly a factor of 2-18 in terms of area and energy, and the pulse duration modulation provides a further energy reduction depending on fault tolerance of programs. | - |
