Abstract
A magnetic transistor circuit with the AND, NAND, NOR and OR functions has a first, a second, a third, a fourth magnetic transistor, and a routing line. These four magnetic transistors act as ordinary transistors that can be turned on or turned off by the control of several metal devices respectively disposed around the magnetic transistors. The AND, NAND, NOR and OR logic functions of the binary system can be implemented by the control of these metal devices.
Claims28
A magnetic transistor circuit with the AND, NAND, NOR and OR functions, comprising:
- a first magnetic transistor having a first magnetic section and a second magnetic section, wherein the first magnetic section couples to a high voltage end;
- a second magnetic transistor having a third magnetic section and a fourth magnetic section, wherein the third magnetic section couples to the second magnetic section, and the fourth magnetic section couples to an output end;
- a third magnetic transistor having a fifth magnetic section and a sixth magnetic section, wherein the fifth magnetic section couples to a low voltage end, and the sixth magnetic section couples to the fourth magnetic section of the second magnetic transistor and the output end;
- a fourth magnetic transistor having a seventh magnetic section and an eighth magnetic section, wherein the seventh magnetic section couples to the low voltage end, and the eighth magnetic section couples to the fourth magnetic section of the second magnetic transistor, the sixth magnetic section of the third magnetic transistor and the output end;
- and
- a routing line coupling to the output end and having a current going through in a first current direction or a second current direction, wherein the first current direction and the second current direction are opposite to represent the data ‘1’ and the data ‘0’ respectively.
