摘要: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory device. The memory device includes an active current path including a data storage element; and a reference current path including a reference resistance element. The reference resistance element has a resistance that differs from a resistance of the data storage element. A delay-sensing element has a first input coupled to the active current path and a second input coupled to the reference current path. The delay-sensing element is configured to sense a timing delay between a first signal on the active current path and a second signal on the reference current path. The delay-sensing element is further configured to determine a data state stored in the data storage element based on the timing delay.

摘要: A log structure is created in persistent memory using hardware support in memory controller or software supported with additional instructions. Writes to persistent memory locations are streamed to the log and written to their corresponding memory location in cache hierarchy. An added victim cache for persistent memory addresses catches cache evictions, which would corrupt open transactions. On the completion of a group of atomic persistent memory operations, the log is closed and the persistent values in the cache can be copied to their source persistent memory location and the log cleaned.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for differential amplifier schemes for sensing memory cells are described. In one example, an apparatus may include a memory cell, a differential amplifier having a first input node, a second input node, and an output node that is coupled with the first input node via a first capacitor, and a second capacitor coupled with the first input node. The apparatus may include a controller configured to cause the apparatus to bias the first capacitor, couple the memory cell with the first input node, and generate, at the output node, a sense signal based at least in part on biasing the first capacitor and coupling the memory cell with the first input node. The apparatus may also include a sense component configured to determine a logic state stored by the memory cell based at least in part on the sense signal.

摘要: An MRAM-based vector multiplication device, such as can be used for inferencing in a neural network, is presented that is ultralow power, low cost, and does not require special on-chip programming. A crosspoint array has an MRAM cell at each crosspoint junction and periphery array circuitry capable of supplying independent input voltages to each word line and reading current on each bit line. Vector multiplication is performed as an in-array multiplication of a vector of input voltages with matrix weight values encoded by the MRAM cell states. The MRAM cells can be individually programmed using a combination of input voltages and an external magnetic field. The external magnetic field is chosen so that a write voltage of one polarity reduces the anisotropy sufficiently to align the cell state with the external field, but is insufficient to align the cell if only half of the write voltage is applied.
