NON-VOLATILE SINGLE-EVENT UPSET TOLERANT LATCH CIRCUIT

摘要

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a non- volatile single-event upset (SEU) tolerant latch is utilized to store device configurations. The non-volatile SEU tolerant latch includes a first and second inverters connected to each other in a cross-coupled manner. The gates of transistors within the first inverter are connected to the drains of transistors within the second inverter via a first feedback resistor. Similarly, the gates of transistors within the second inverter are connected to the drains of transistors within the first inverter via a second feedback resistor. The non-volatile SEU tolerant latch also includes a pair of chalcogenide memory elements connected to the inverters for storing information. All features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed written description.
