Integration of Spin-RAM Technology in FPGA Circuits - 2

This document discusses spin RAM based field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). It introduces spin RAM and how it can be used as a non-volatile memory in FPGAs. Key advantages of spin RAM include non-volatility, high write/read speeds, low power dissipation, and the ability to reprogram over 10^12 times. The document proposes using spin RAM to replace SRAM and flash memory in FPGAs, eliminating the need for initialization phases and enabling dynamic reconfiguration. It also suggests using spin RAM based flip-flops to replace registers in system on chip (SOC) applications.
