Compact Modeling Of Perpendicular Nanomagnetic Logic Based On Threshold Gates

In this work, we show that physical-based compact modeling of perpendicular Nanomagnetic Logic is crucial for the design and simulation of complex circuitry. A compact model for field-coupled nanomagnets based on an Arrhenius switching model and finite element calculations is introduced. As physical parameters have an enormous influence on the behavior of the circuit, their modeling is of great importance. Exemplarily, a 1-bit full adder based on threshold logic gates is analyzed due to its reliability. The obtained findings are used to design a pure magnetic arithmetic logic unit, which can be used for basic Boolean and logic operations. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
