Research on a chaotic circuit based on an active TiO 2 memristor

The memristor is the fourth fundamental circuit element besides the resistor, inductor and capacitor. As a two-terminal nonlinear resistor, the memristor has a broad application prospect. In this paper, a negative memconductance expression of a flux-controlled memristor is derived from the relationship between voltage and current for the Hewlett-Packard memristor. By replacing Chua's diode with the active flux-controlled TiO 2 memristor, a chaotic circuit is obtained. By means of the conventional dynamic analysis method, dynamic behaviors of the chaotic circuit are investigated. Software simulation and theoretical analysis all indicate that this active memristor-based chaotic circuit has more complex behaviors. Furthermore, the integrated circuit experiment on the digital signal processor chip of this circuit was also realized.
