Abstract
A non-volatile logic device for energy-efficient logic state restoration is disclosed. The non-volatile logic device incorporates a volatile flip-flop and a non-volatile storage unit to achieve on-chip non-volatile storage. The non-volatile logic device further allows for a backup time to be determined on a per-chip basis, resulting in minimizing energy wastage and satisfying a given yield constraint.
