ABSTRACT This article describes floating and grounded memristor emulator built with an Inverting Current Conveyor Transconductance Amplifier (ICCTA). One ICCTA, one capacitor, and three resistors are used to implement the charge controlled floating memristor emulator. In contrast, a flux controlled grounded memristor emulator consists of one ICCTA, one resistor, and one capacitor. Both presented circuits do not incorporate complex circuits such as analog multiplier circuits, passive inductors, and analog to digital converter circuits in their implementation, which is advantageous in terms of circuit realisation. The designed circuits may be operated in incremental as well as decremental configurations by appropriate setting of MOS switches. In addition, PVT (process, voltage, and temperature) analysis of the proposed memristor is also included. Furthermore, the non-ideal explanation of the proposed circuits is mathematically examined. The proposed emulators are simulated in SPICE simulator using 180 nm technology. Meminductor circuit and memristor-based low pass filter are used to validate the effectiveness of the designed circuits.
