Abstract
A device including a conductive layer configured to output a spin-current based on an analog input value, a plurality of magnetoresistive devices, and an encoder configured to output a digital value. Each of the magnetoresistive devices may be configured to receive a different reference voltage on a first side and the spin-current on a second side. The magnetization state of each of the magnetoresistive devices is set by respective reference voltages and the spin-current. The encoder may include a plurality of digital bits that is a digital representation of the analog input value based on the magnetization states of the magnetoresistive devices.
