Abstract

Thanks to its non-volatility, high write/sense speed and small size, Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) is under investigation to be integrated in the future reconfigurable computing circuits offering higher power efficiency and performance. Another advantage of MTJ is that it provides good radiation hardness compared with other storage technologies used in reconfigurable computing circuits. In this paper, we present a design of Magnetic Look-Up-Table (MLUT) performing radiation hardness and keeping high reconfiguration /computing speed, high reliability and low power. Simulation results using an accurate model of MTJ and CMOS 130nm design kit confirm its expected performances in terms of reliability, power and speed.
