A novel memristor emulator based only on an exponential amplifier and CCII+

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel memristor emulator circuit, which consists only of an exponential amplifier and a second generation current conveyor (CCII+) to achieve the non-linearity behavior of the memristor in the I-V plane. This emulator circuit is very simple and less complex compared to the previously published circuits. Furthermore, this circuit can accurately imitate the behavior of a memristor and satisfy the fingerprints of the memristors. The paper also presents the mathematical modeling and analysis of the proposed emulator. Finally, PSPICE and analytical validations are provided to validate the proposed emulator circuit.
