Abstract

This work focuses on the creation of logic circuits by employing the collective dynamics of assembles of reciprocal memristors. A novel circuit design methodology is described where the computing systems comprise passive memristors interfaced with active CMOS circuitry, working under already known circuit design principles from the CMOS technology. The accuracy and completeness of this straightforward methodology is demonstrated through SPICE simulations which are based on a threshold-type device model for memristors. Overall, this work contributes to the creation of proper methodologies which will enable the development of efficient design flows for circuits and architectures comprising memristors.
