| Research Abstract |
In order to develop microprocessors with very low-power consumption and high performance, novel nonvolatile memory circuits have been proposed, designed and analyzed. Evaluation of the circuits was done by a circuit simulator. Dynamically reconfigurable microprocessors that can execute information processing with very high speed using limited circuit layout area were designed. Utilization method of the nonvolatile memory circuits in the dynamically reconfigurable microprocessors was proposed. Consequently, basis of developing very low-power dynamically reconfigurable microprocessors with nonvolatile memories have been established.
