It has been nearly half a century since the conceptualisation of the memristor, and related research has mainly focussed on the two aspects of binary and continuous memristors. However, compared with these two types of memristors, tri-state and multi-state memristors have greater data density per device, with rich dynamics and great potential in logic and chaotic circuit applications. Moreover, previous studies show that the series-parallel connection of memristor generates more diverse circuit behaviours and increased capacity over a single memristor. However, most of this research is based on mathematical analysis, and lack behavioural circuit simulations or experimental validation. Here, the tri-state memristor is proposed and the mathematic and equivalent Spice models of the tri-state memristor is shown. Furthermore, the circuit characteristics are studied with a complete characterisation of its series-parallel behaviours of the tri-state memristor.

It has excellent potential with high density, fast switching speed, and low energy consumption. Researchers have emphasized reducing the number of gates, the delay, and the cell count in QCA technology. In addition, a ripple carry adder (RCA) is a circuit in which each full adder's carry-out is the connection for the next full adder's carry-in. These types of adders are quite simple and easily expandable to any desired size. However, they are relatively slow because carries may broadcast across the entire adder. Therefore, an RCA design on a nanoscale QCA is proposed to diminish the cell number, improve complexity, and decrease latency. The QCADesigner simulation tool is used to verify the correctness of the suggested circuit. The comparison results for the design indicate an approximately 49.14% improvement in cell number and 14.29% advantage in area for the state-of-the-art 4-bit RCA designs with QCA technology.

However, they show poor transient performance due to right-half-plane-zeros (RHPZs) in the closed-loop transfer function of the Ćuk CCM converter. To enhance the transient response, a combined feedback–feedforward control for the Ćuk CCM converter is proposed. The proposed control scheme comprises a feedback control signal based on a Lyapunov function and a duty-ratio feedforward control signal. A Lyapunov-function-based controller (LBC) achieves fast dynamic response even under large-signal variations from the operating point. The duty ratio feedforward controller (DFFC) is developed to predict the effect of the disturbances and compensate it, while alleviating the burden of LBC. The proposed control logic makes the closed-loop system of the Ćuk CCM converter globally exponentially stable and thus provides a fast transient response even under large-signal variations. To construct the proposed controller, the authors make use of the large-signal averaged model of the Ćuk CCM converter, and consider the parasitic elements.

Advances have been made to both the size and the complexity of memristor designs. Therefore, computer aided design tools are required to handle memristor-based large-scale designs. A comprehensive automatic framework for the design and synthesis of large-scale memristor-complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits is described herein. This framework provides a synthesis approach that can be applied to all memristor-based digital logic designs. In particular, it is a proposal for a characterization methodology of memristor-based logic cells to generate a standard cell library file for large-scale simulation. The proposed architecture is based on RRAM and ReRAM redox-based devices and the memristor ratioed logic design approach. The proposed framework is implemented in the Cadence Virtuoso schematic-level environment and was verified with Verilog-XL, MATLAB, and the electronic design automation synopses compiler after being translated to the behavioral level. The proposed method can be applied to implement any digital logic design. Nevertheless, it is perfectly suitable for signal processing applications that require MATLAB functions to produce text files with hex values in order to overcome the limitations of the simulation environment. A framework is deployed herein for design of the memristor-based parallel 8-bit adder/subtractor and a 2D memristive-based median filter.
