A Novel CCCCTA-Based High Frequency Memristor Emulator in 180 nm CMOS Technology Process

In this article, we introduce a novel Memristor Emulator (MRE) model employing a single analog building block i.e., the Current Controlled Current Conveyor Transconductance Amplifier (CCCCTA), along with two resistors and one capacitor. We further show the operation of the proposed MRE in both grounded as well as floating modes. The proposed MRE operates up to 1 MHz. In addition, by using a simple switch connection, the proposed emulator circuit works in both incremental as well as decremental configuration. The simulation results are based on a 1.1 V power supply and have been carried out on a 180 nm CMOS technology node. The results perfectly corroborate the theoretical propositions. Besides, the design incurs a power consumption of only 2.2 mW. Such low power design of the proposed MRE can be exploited for various energy-efficient applications.
