| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | In future processing system, the memory capacity of last level cache (LLC) must be increased, because LLC needs to cover the widening memory-bandwidth gap between multiple CPUs and the external main memory. For this purpose, non-volatile ultra-large LLCs (UL3C) having more than 100 MB should come into use. Although UL3Cs implemented with embedded DRAM have become commercially available, their usage has been constrained by their high power consumption due to their high refresh rate. Non-volatile UL3C can save this wasted energy and enables higher performance per watt in CPU/memory systems. This report presents voltage-controlled MRAM (VCM) using fast read and write circuits to achieve high-speed, low-power, and non-volatile UL3C. Our proposed circuit utilizes unipolar characteristics of voltage-torque MTJ and its voltage effects. The energy barrier is controlled by applying pulsed biases. Simulation results indicated the proposed circuits can operate even with 10% process variability at 1-sigma of MTJ fabrication and reduce operation power. Our results have shown that the proposed VCM can be used for nonvolatile UL3C. | |
