Among the possible implementation of Field- Coupled devices NanoMagnet Logic is attractive for its low power consumption and the possibility to combine memory and logic in the same device.

Abstract

Among the possible implementation of Field- Coupled devices NanoMagnet Logic is attractive for its low power consumption and the possibility to combine memory and logic in the same device. However, the nature of these technologies is so different from CMOS transistors that the implications on the circuit architecture must be taken carefully into account. In this work we analyze the most important issues related to the design of complex circuits using this technology. We discuss how they influence the architectural level. We propose detailed solutions to solve these problems and to improve the overall performance. As a result of this analysis the type of circuits and applications that constitute the best target for this technology are identified. The analysis is performed on NanoMagnet Logic but the results can be applied to any QCA technology
