    摘要: Disclosed herein are semiconductor device arrays, such as, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Arrays (CPLAs) that use high-density Spin Transfer Torque (STT)-based memory elements. STT-based memory elements can either be stand-alone FPGAs/CPLAs, or can be embedded in microprocessors and/or digital signal processing (DSP) system-on-chip (SoC) to provide design flexibility for implementing low power, scalable, secure and reconfigurable hardware architecture. Because the configuration is stored on the FPGA/CPLA die itself, the need for loading the configuration from external storage every time is eliminated when the device is powered on. In addition to instant startup, eliminating configuration I/O traffic results in power savings and possible pin count reduction. Security is greatly improved by eliminating the need to store configuration data in an external memory.

    摘要: Described herein are apparatus, method, and system for reducing clock-to-output delay of a sequential logic unit in a processor. The apparatus comprises a sequential unit including: a data path, to receive an input signal, including logic gates to operate on a first power supply level, the data path to generate an output signal; and a clock path including logic gates to operate on a second power supply level, the logic gates of the clock path to sample the input signal using a sampling signal to generate the output signal, wherein the second power supply level is higher than the first power supply level. The apparatus improves (i.e. reduces) setup time of the sequential unit and allows the processor to operate at minimum operating voltage (Vmin) without degrading performance of the sequential unit.
