Field-coupled nanomagnets can offer significant energy savings at iso-performance versus CMOS equivalents. Magnetic logic could be integrated with CMOS, operate in environments that CMOS cannot, and retain state without power. Clocking requirements lead to inherently pipelined circuits, and high throughput further improves application-level performance. However, bit conflicts -- that will occur in defect free, pipelined ensembles -- can make non-volatile logic volatile. Assuming a field-based clock, we present hardware designs to improve steady state non-volatility, and explain how design enhancements could increase clock energy. We then suggest materials-related design levers that could simultaneously deliver non-volatility and low clock energy. |
