Emulator Circuits for the Flux-Controlled Memristive Devices

Memristors can be grouped into two types – (i) the charge-controlled and (ii) the flux-controlled memristors. In this chapter, we introduce two new emulator circuits for the flux-controlled memductors and memristors. The proposed emulator circuits can emu

Preface

About the Subject Memristor has recently been recognized as a new and the fourth passive element (along with the resistor, capacitor, and inductor) that establishes the direct relationship between electrical charge (q) and magnetic flux (ϕ). A memristor is perceived as a two-terminal passive element that shows a nonlinear hysteresis behavior for a specific frequency range. Memristor technology is drawing widespread attention nowadays due to its potential applications in conventional memory and logic devices, neuromorphic computing, beyond-binary memory and logic technologies, and many other digital, analog, and mixed-signal applications like modulation systems and oscillator circuits. However, as of now, there is no single device available in the market that can genuinely exhibit memristive behavior for a specific frequency range. In the absence of real and physically fabricated memristors, researchers are still relying on memristor emulators to understand the fundamental concepts, investigate the perceived behaviors, and explore potential applications of the memristor. There has been a surge of interes
