Abstract

The present invention is in the nonvolatile bistable multivibrator circuit in which the first and second storage nodes of the bistable multivibrator circuit are connected to the first and second variable resistance elements through control transistors. After changing both of the first and second variable resistance elements to low resistance in the storage step, among the first and second variable resistance elements, the variable resistance element connected to the storage node for storing "0" is still kept at Low resistance, only change the varistor element connected to the storage node storing "1" to high resistance, and perform sequentially in the rechecking step to store "1" on the storage node connected to the varistor element with high resistance, in A driving method of a non-volatile bistable multivibrator circuit that stores "0" on a storage node connected to a low-resistance varistor element.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a driving method of a nonvolatile bistable multivibrator circuit using a varistor element, and in particular to a nonvolatile bistable multivibrator circuit capable of nonvolatile operation during normal operation, high-speed operation, power off, etc. A driving method for a steady-state multivibrator circuit. Background technique [0002] Due to the popularization of portable devices in recent years, miniaturization and low power consumption of semiconductor elements are required. In addition, the necessity of using nonvolatile memory in portable instruments has also increased. At present, flash memory, ferroelectric memory (Fe RAM) and the like are put into practical use as nonvolatile memories. Also, in portable devices, nonvolatile memories are sometimes mixed with logic circuits for the sake of miniaturization. In addition, semiconductor elements for data processing centered on Si chips require not only miniatur...
