Abstract
An MTJ element not only computes Boolean function but also stores the output result in itself. We can make the most use of magneto-logic's merits by employing the magneto-logic in substitution for the sequential logic as well as the combinational logic. This unique feature opens a new horizon for potential application of MTJ as a universal logic element. Magneto-logic circuits using MTJ elements are more integrative and non-volatile. This paper presents novel 3-bit magneto-logic up/down counters and presents simulation results based on the HSPICE macro-model of MTJ that we have developed.
