Performance Comparison of Various Memristor Emulators on a Phase Shifting Oscillator Circuit

Abstract

An electrical element, which can take several resistance values between two different resistance values and remembers how much energy is given to it, is called as memristor. Circuits that consist of different electronic elements with the characteristics of the memristor are named by memristor emulator circuits. In this paper, four different memristor emulator circuits were used instead of one of the resistors that determine the frequency in the phase shifting oscillator circuit. Each memristor emulator and the same value resistance pairs are compared with each other and various results are obtained. Simulation results are quite encouraging to properly predict the appropriate configuration for power reduction.
