摘要
This work presents the first generalized circuit macro-model for a pinned Spin-Dependent-Tunneling (SDT) device. The macro-model is realized as a four terminal subcircuit which emulates SDT device behavior over a wide range of sense and word line currents. This model accurately represents the nonlinear and hysteretic nature of an SDT device and HSPICE(TM) simulations of memory circuits using this model show expected outcomes. The model is flexible and relatively simple: ranges of the write /read currents and device resistance values are incorporated as parameterized variables and no semiconductor devices are used within the model.
