VerilogA modeling of the memristor for circuit applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The memristor has attracted great attention in recent years due to the high demand of nano-sized high performance nonvolatile memories. Furthermore, recent breakthrough in nanotechnology makes the fabrication of the memristor a reality. In this work, the switching mechanism and the resistive switching behavior that take place in the memristor are introduced. The ionic transportation mechanism is used to explain the resistive switching process. In addition, a working model for the memristor that based on the existing oxygen vacancy migration mechanism is conducted. A VerilogA model of the memristor that based on this working model is proposed. Simulation results using this VerilogA model compliment existing proposals well. In conclusion, the future of the memristor is promising.

Memristor Modeling
In the first week of the internship, I was tasked with creating a VerilogA model of memristors I could use for further simulations. As there is no single predominant model, I explored the range of models used in published works and implemented several in VerilogA. All these models are in the RRAM library, and they all have a name with the prefix memr_model. Below is an explanation of each model...
متن کاملSimple Floating Voltage-Controlled Memductor Emulator for Analog Applications
The topic of memristive circuits is a novel topic in circuit theory that has become of great importance due to its unique behavior which is useful in different applications. But since there is a lack of memristor samples, a memristor emulator is used instead of a solid state memristor. In this paper, a new simple floating voltage-controlled memductor emulator is introduced which is implemented ...
