Abstract

The recent demonstration of current-driven magnetic domain wall logic [Z. Luo et al., Nature 579:214] was based on a three-input logic gate that was identified as a reconfigurable NAND/NOR function. We reinterpret this logic gate as a minority gate within the context of threshold logic, enabling a domain wall threshold logic paradigm in which the device count can be reduced by 80%. Furthermore, by extending the logic gate to more than three inputs of non-equal weight, an 87% reduction in device count can be achieved.
