Abstract

In recent times, memristors have drawn wide spread attention from the research community due to their potential applications in memory and various other systems. However, as of now, no solid state device could be designed to achieve the memristive behavior. The research community has been trying to build emulator circuits to study the behavior of the memristor due to the lack of the solid state memristor samples. In this paper, we introduce a generic and simple emulator circuit for a voltage controlled memristor. Although, the voltage-controlled memristor models are of great importance, no significant research has been done to build emulator circuits for this type of memristor. We propose an emulator circuit design comprised of only two second generation current conveyers (CCII+) and one multiplier to achieve the hysteretic behavior of the memristor. We also present the mathematical modeling and SPICE simulation of the proposed emulator circuit. Experimental results show proper matching with the results obtained from the SPICE simulation.
