Abstract
Systems and methods are directed to a three-phase non-volatile flip-flop (NVFF), which includes a master stage formed from a dual giant spin Hall effect (GSHE)-magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure, with a first GSHE-MTJ and a second GSHE-MTJ coupled between a first combined terminal and a second combined terminal, and a slave stage formed from a first inverter cross-coupled with a second inverter. A first data value is read out from the slave stage during a read phase of the same clock cycle that a second data value is written into the master stage during a write phase. The three-phase NVFF includes three control signals, for controlling an initialization phase of the slave stage, the read phase, and the write phase.
