Claim:
1. A configurable magneto-electric (ME) magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) Exclusive-OR (XOR)/Exclusive-NOR (XNOR) gate comprising: an insulator separating a top ferromagnetic (FM) layer and a bottom FM layer; a top ME layer on the top FM layer with a first boundary magnetism at an interface of the top ME layer and the top FM layer; a bottom ME layer on the bottom FM layer with a second boundary magnetism at an interface of the bottom ME layer and the bottom FM layer where the top ME layer and the bottom ME layer are opposite the insulator; and a top electrode coupled to the top ME layer and a bottom electrode coupled to the bottom ME layer; wherein a voltage between the top electrode and the top FM layer is a first input; a voltage between the bottom electrode and the bottom FM layer is a second input; and a resistance between the top FM layer and the bottom FM layer is indicative of either the XOR or the XNOR of the first input and the second input.
