Everspin Assigned Patent
Nonvolatile logic and security circuits
By Francis Pelletier | November 21, 2018 at 2:23 pmEverspin Technologies, Inc., Chandler, AZ, has been assigned a patent (10,109,333) developed by Andre, Thomas, Austin, TX, for “nonvolatile logic and security circuits.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “In some examples, a nonvolatile storage element may be configured to store a state or value during a low power or powered down period of a circuit. For example, the nonvolatile storage element may include a bridge of resistive elements that have a resistive state that may be configured by applying voltages to multiple drive paths. A sense amplifier may be connected to the bridge in order to resolve a voltage differential associated with the bridge to ether power or ground and, thereby determine the state associated with on the nonvolatile storage element.”
The patent application was filed on August 9, 2017 (15/672,469).
