Logic Design on Mirrored Memristive Crossbars

Abstract

This brief presents a hybrid CMOS-memristor logic design and implementation method on a novel mirrored crossbar architecture. The proposed structure supports in-memory computation and needs only one computational step to perform basic Boolean expressions. This logic can provide multiple fanins and/or fanouts, and does not have a destructive effect on input devices' logical states. Various logic gates have been designed using the proposed structure. Simulation results and practical design constraints for different logic functions are presented, which confirms functionality of the method and its capability for large-scale memristive computations.
