Electronic systems are described including semiconductor circuitry characterized by first signals and all-metal circuitry characterized by second signals and comprising a plurality of transpinnors. Each transpinnor includes a network of thin-film elements. At least one thin-film element in each transpinnor exhibits giant magnetoresistance. Each transpinnor includes a conductor inductively coupled to the at least one thin-film element for controlling operation of the transpinnor. Interface circuitry connects the semiconductor circuitry to the all-metal circuitry and converts between the first signals and the second signals.

Interfaces between semiconductor circuitry and transpinnor-based circuitry

A radiation detector is described which includes first circuitry having at least one operational parameter associated therewith which is operable to change in response to radiation exposure. Second circuitry is operable to detect a change in the at least one operational parameter based on a predetermined relation between the at least one operational parameter and at least one type of radiation. The second circuitry is also operable to encode detection information representative of the radiation exposure in response thereto.

Transceiver components for a transmission line are described. A driver includes a first network of thin-film elements exhibiting giant magnetoresistance, and a first input conductor inductively coupled to at least one of the thin-film elements in the first network. At least one dimension of each thin-film element in the first network is configured with reference to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. A receiver includes a second network of thin-film elements exhibiting giant magnetoresistance, and a second input conductor inductively coupled to at least one of the thin-film elements in the second network. A termination impedance in series with the second input conductor has a value relating to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.
