Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If traditional magnetic memory devices are used, then device complexity is low, but read-out speed is limited to one bit at a time
Solution Approach 1:
The memory device is divided into multiple independent magnetic bits arranged in an array, where each bit can be read out simultaneously through separate waveguide paths. This segmentation enables parallel read-out of multiple bits, increasing read-out speed from sequential (one bit at a time) to parallel (multiple bits simultaneously).
Solution Approach 2:
Spin waves are introduced as an intermediary carrier to transfer magnetic bit information from the magnetic bits through waveguide paths to detection elements. This intermediary mechanism enables non-contact, parallel read-out of multiple magnetic bits simultaneously, overcoming the limitation of traditional sequential read-out methods.
2Speed
If parallel read-out is implemented, then read-out speed increases, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses periodic oscillation of spin waves at a resonant frequency to enable parallel read-out. By tuning the detection elements to resonate at a specific frequency, the system can read multiple bits simultaneously using periodic spin wave oscillations, achieving high-speed read-out while maintaining controlled power consumption through resonant enhancement.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the frequency parameter of the read-out signal to match the resonant frequency of the spin wave system. By adjusting the operating frequency to coincide with the natural oscillation frequency of the magnetic bits and waveguides, the system achieves enhanced read-out efficiency and speed while optimizing power consumption through resonant coupling.
