Abstract
A solid-state component is described which includes a network of thin-film elements. At least one thin-film element exhibits giant magnetoresistance. The network has a plurality of nodes, each of which represents a direct electrical connection between two of the thin-film elements. First and second ones of the plurality of nodes include power terminals. Third and fourth ones of the plurality of nodes comprise an output. A first conductor is inductively coupled to the at least one thin-film element for applying a first magnetic field thereto.
