    摘要: Described are apparatuses for improving resistive memory energy efficiency. An apparatus performs data-driven write to make use of asymmetric write switch energy between write0 and write1 operations. The apparatus comprises: a resistive memory cell coupled to a bit line and a select line; a first pass-gate coupled to the bit line; a second pass-gate coupled to the select line; and a multiplexer operable by input data, the multiplexer to provide a control signal to the first and second pass-gates or to write drivers according to logic level of the input data. An apparatus comprises circuit for performing read before write operation which avoids unnecessary writes with an initial low power read operation. An apparatus comprises circuit to perform self-controlled write operation which stops the write operation as soon as bit-cell flips. An apparatus comprises circuit for performing self-controlled read operation which stops read operation as soon as data is detected.

    摘要: Damascene-based approaches for embedding spin hall MTJ devices into a logic processor, and the resulting structures, are described. In an example, a logic processor includes a logic region including a metallization layer. The logic processor also includes a memory array including a plurality of two-transistor one magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) spin hall effect electrode (2T-1MTJ SHE electrode) bit cells. The spin hall effect electrodes of the 2T-1MTJ SHE electrode bit cells are disposed in a lower dielectric layer laterally adjacent to the metallization layer of the logic region. The MTJs of the 2T-1MTJ SHE electrode bit cells are disposed in an upper dielectric layer laterally adjacent to the metallization layer of the logic region.
