Abstract

A floating/grounded memristor emulator having a single MOSFET connected to a first-order RC filter with high operating frequency is presented. The proposed memristor emulator is passive in nature and provides zero static power, and a few pW of dynamic power when input signal is applied. The emulator has been simulated using Cadence Virtuoso Spectre tool. The mathematical analysis substantiates the existence of the proposed memristor emulator and its incremental nature. With a layout area of 1.586 μm2, the memristor emulator operates up to 80 MHz. The main contribution is the experimental verification of the proposed topology using discrete transistor, ALD1117 Dual P-channel enhancement MOSFET array and discrete elements in the form of an R–C tank circuit. The performance characteristics for its analog and digital applications have been simulated and verified in grounded as well as floating mode. The emulator circuit offers a simplified design and low power consumption compared to other existing memristor emulators.
