Abstract
In one aspect, the invention relates to programmable logic that utilizes one or more of magnetic diodes. By changing magnetic fields generated in the magnetic diodes due to input signals, the programmable logic can be changed from one logic gate to another logic gate. The unique feature leads to field reprogrammable logic devices in which simple instructions can be used to construct a whole new set of logic gates.
