Abstract :
In this paper we propose new approach to operate Suppressed Sidewall Injection dual collector Magnetotransistor (SSIMT), which allows one to reduce the power consumption and to implement directly switched capacitor signal-processing functions. This is obtained using charge instead of current to drive the device. Because of the clocked operation, the static power dissipation is eliminated and a sampled signal is obtained directly from the sensor. The proposed approach has been experimentally verified and the obtained results are presented
