Abstract
A universal memelement emulator is an electronic system that can emulate the behaviour of all three types of memelements (memristor, memcapacitor, and meminductor) with minor modifications to its arrangement. Despite significant technological advancements, the physical realization of memelements remains a challenging and unresolved problem, prompting ongoing research into innovative emulation techniques. This work presents a novel structure for a universal memelement emulator, which can be reconfigured into a desired memelement by manipulating the impedances within the proposed structure as either resistive or capacitive. The proposed circuit incorporates one dual X current conveyor differential input transconductance amplifier (DXCCDITA) and three passive components. The proposed structure can emulate a flux-controlled memristor, memcapacitor, and meminductor by appropriately choosing the impedances. The functionality of the proposed memelement emulator has been verified through simulations in LTspice utilizing TSMC 180 nm CMOS technology parameters. The proposed circuit shows satisfactory response up to 5 MHz frequency. Additionally, its functionality is verified using commercially available ICs. Furthermore, its practical utility is showcased by successful implementation in diverse applications, such as chaotic oscillator, high-pass filter, and adaptive learning circuit.
