Three-terminal cascade switch for controlling static power consumption in integrated circuits

摘要: A switching circuit includes a plurality of three-terminal PCM devices connected between voltage supply terminal and sub-block logic. Each the disposed in contact first second terminal, heating device third positioned proximate PCM, configured to switch conductivity transformable portion lower resistance state higher state; an insulating layer electrically isolate heater from said material, terminal. The is coupled set/reset switch, remaining adjacent cascade configuration.
