Design considerations/insights for memristor-based memory arrays

To achieve high data density with low power consumption, technology migration into nano and molecular scales have been proposed. Discovery of the memristor has enabled the realization of denser nano-scale logic and memory systems. This is due to the memristor distinctive characteristics such as storing the historic state of the current passing through it, nano-scale device, and low power consumption. This work describes the design considerations of using a memristor in realization of a memory cell. Based on this analysis, a new read/write circuit is proposed and verified using a simulation tool.
