Abstract

A nonvolatile logic circuit includes: a memory unit having a pair of resistive memory elements; a computation unit connected to the memory unit and configured to perform an operation based on an input signal and a logic value corresponding to a resistance state of the pair of resistive memory elements; a determination circuit configured to determine whether the resistance state of the pair of resistive memory elements is a complementary state or a non-complementary state; and an output circuit connected to the computation unit and the determination circuit, and configured to output a signal corresponding to an operation result by the computation unit or a signal corresponding to a determination result by the determination circuit.
