Logic circuit device uses magnetoresistive element with magnetizable soft magnetic layer and selective perpendicular magnetic field for alteration of logic function

摘要

The logic circuit device with at least one magnetoresistive element has a current conductor (3) with at least 2 signal terminals for providing a magnetic field acting on the magnetoresistive element, for switching the magnetization of a soft-magnetic layer, with selective generation of a further magnetic field perpendicular to the magnetization of the soft magnetic layer via a second conductor (4).
