Abstract
Due to the increased use of memristors and their many applications, the use of emulators has grown in parallel to avoid some of the difficulties presented by real devices, such as variability and reliability. In this paper, we present a memristive emulator designed using a switched capacitor (SC), that is, an analog component/block and a control part or block implemented using stochastic computing (SCo) and therefore fully digital. Our design is thus a mixed signal circuit. Memristor equations are implemented using stochastic computing to generate the control signals necessary to work with the controllable resistor implemented as a switched capacitor.
Highlights
Academic Editors: Roberto OsellameLeon Chua defined the memristor theoretically in 1971 [1]
In order to be considered as a memristor, the emulator must present two characteristic fingerprints [3,32,33]: (1) a pinched loop (2) whose area changes with frequency
We can consider that the two fingerprints are present
Summary
Academic Editors: Roberto OsellameLeon Chua defined the memristor theoretically in 1971 [1]. Leon Chua introduces, this fourth passive component to complete the set, proposing that the memristor is defined by a nonlinear relationship between charge and flux. It was not until 2008 that it could be implemented [2]. Its use has been increasing and its fields of application have increased. It is a promising but very recent device, which implies that there are many studies that must be carried out to understand well the operating mechanisms and develop new technologies to avoid some of the problems presented, such as the variability and life time
