Abstract • The propose a non-volatile flip-flop, which presents simultaneously low power dissipation and high speed. • This flip-flop is based on MRAM (Magnetic RAM) technology on standard CMOS. • In this non-volatile flip-flop design, we use Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJ) as storage element. • In this paper, a magnetic flip-flop is proposed to make the FPGA circuit completely non-volatile.
Magnetic Flip-Flop • Magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure consisting of two ferromagnetic metals separated by a thin insulating layer. Fig1. the position of MTJs

MSFlip-Flop Simulation • In the magnetic-standard flip-flop simulation, the low frequency control signal “NW” is 10 KHz, the clock frequency is 500MHz and the input frequency is 250MHz. • 130nm technologies have been used for the CMOS part, and a completesimulation model has been developed by CEA for the magnetic part.

The flip-flop keeps the non-volatility of 1/X times (X is the ratio of processing frequency and the low, user defined frequency)
Conclusion • We proposed this new architecture of Magnetic Standard flip-flop which features simultaneously non-volatility, high speed and low power dissipation. • This flip-flop can also be used to replace all the registers in SOC (System-on-chip) then makes these chips non-volatile and secure.
