US Patent 11264991 Field-programmable gate array with updatable security schemes

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) architecture capable of performing immutable hardware Root-of-Trust updates and patches. In embodiments, the architecture utilizes the dielectric breakdown mechanism of magneto tunnel junctions (MTJ) to operate both as: 1) multi-time programmable (MTP) configuration memory for reconfigurable FPGA designs, and 2) one-time programmable (OTP) memory for FPGA Root-of-Trust sections.
