Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a
signal-storing nanowire-crossbar latch array. In one embodiment, the
signal-storing nanowire-crossbar latch array is fabricated from three
signal lines, including an enable line and two control lines, that cross
and intersect with a number of signal wires. Signals are stored in the
nanowire-crossbar latch array, and output from the nanowire-crossbar
latch array, by applying an input signal to each signal wire and applying
selected voltages and voltage pulses to the control lines. In alternate
embodiments, a second enable line that crosses and interconnects with
each signal wire is added to the nanowire-crossbar latch array.
