Abstract

A multi-state memory cell which uses magnetic bubble domains in uniaxial material is described. The cell includes a channel in which a number of stable bubble positions separated by barriers is formed and on which select conductors are positioned to switch a bubble from one stable position to another on a threshold basis by means of coincident currents. A cell in accordance with this invention may take the form of a four-state-two conductor cell, two-bistable-state two-conductor cell, multi-state six conductor cell and six-state three-conductor cell and include destructive or non-destructive readout.
