Abstract:
Field programmable gate arrays using resistivity-sensitive memories are described, including a programmable cell comprising a configurable logic, a memory connected to the configurable logic to provide functions for the configurable logic, the memory comprises a non-volatile rewriteable memory element including a resistivity-sensitive memory element, an input/output logic connected to the configurable logic and the memory to communicate with other cells. The memory elements may be two-terminal resistivity-sensitive memory elements that store data in the absence of power. The two-terminal memory elements may store data as plurality of conductivity profiles that can be non-destructively read by applying a read voltage across the terminals of the memory element and data can be written to the two-terminal memory elements by applying a write voltage across the terminals. The memory can be vertically configured in one or more memory planes that are vertically stacked upon each other and are positioned above a logic plane.
Abstract:
A non-volatile register includes a memory element. The memory element comprises a first end and a second end. The non-volatile register includes a register logic connected with the first and second ends of the memory element. The register logic is positioned below the memory element. The memory element may be a two-terminal memory element configured to store data as a plurality of conductivity profiles that can be non-destructively determined by applying a read voltage across the two terminals. New data can be written to the two-terminal memory element by applying a write voltage of a predetermined magnitude and/or polarity across the two terminals. The two-terminal memory element retains stored data in the absence of power. A reference element including a structure that is identical or substantially identical to the two-terminal memory element may be used to generate a reference signal for comparisons during read operations.

A system and a method of accessing a memory are described. The system includes a memory, an interface configured to transfer data (e.g. a data packet), an aligner configured to receive the data and to generate aligned data, and a page buffer module configured to store the aligned data and, when the page buffer module is full with aligned data, transferring the aligned data to the memory. The method includes receiving data at an interface, aligning the data to generate aligned data, storing aligned data in a page buffer module configured to store aligned data for a write access and retrieved data from a read access, writing aligned data to a memory, and transferring retrieved data to the interface. Data can be transferred by the interface at a first rate and aligned data can be written to or retrieved from the memory at substantially the first rate.
