Abstract
This paper presents a novel passive floating memristor emulator that operates without an external DC bias, leveraging the DTMOS technique. The design comprises only four MOSFETs and eliminates the need for external capacitors. The emulator achieves a high operating frequency of around 250 MHz and consumes zero static power. A comprehensive analysis and simulation, conducted using 180 nm CMOS technology, validates the circuit's performance. The versatility and effectiveness of the proposed emulator are demonstrated through its application in various circuits, including logic gates, a ring oscillator, and analog filters, highlighting its potential for diverse low-power, high-frequency applications. The proposed emulator provides a compact, efficient, and integrable solution for nanoelectronic circuit designs.
