Nonvolatile logic circuit, integrated circuit including the nonvolatile logic circuit, and method of operating the integrated circuit

摘要

A nonvolatile logic circuit includes a latch unit including a pair of first and second latch nodes; and a pair of first and second nonvolatile memory cells electrically connected to the first and second of latch nodes, respectively. A write operation is performed on the first and second nonvolatile memory cells according to a direction of a current flowing through the first and second nonvolatile memory cells when a write enable signal is activated. The direction of flow of current determined based on data on the respective first and second latch nodes, and a logic value written on the first nonvolatile memory cells is different from a logic value written on the second nonvolatile memory cell.
