Abstract:
A state-retaining logic cell may include a plurality of inverters, an output node non-volatile (NVM) storage cell, and an input node NVM storage cell. The plurality of inverters may include a feed-forward inverter and a feed-back inverter disposed in a back-to-back arrangement. The output node NVM storage cell may include first and second terminals, where the first terminal is connected adjacent an output node of the feed-forward and the feed-back inverters, and the second terminal is connected to a programming rail. The input node NVM storage cell may include first and second terminals, where the first terminal is connected adjacent an input node of the feed-forward and the feed-back inverters, and the second terminal is connected to the programming rail.
