NON-VOLATILE SHADOW LATCH USING A NANOTUBE SWITCH

摘要

A non- volatile memory cell includes a volatile storage device that stores a corresponding logic state in response to electrical stimulus; and a shadow memory device coupled to the volatile storage device. The shadow memory devi ce receives and stores the corresponding logic state in response to electrical stimulus. The shadow memory device includes a non- volatile nanotube switch that stores the corresponding state of the shadow device.
