Grounded Memristor Emulator Using Single Active Block

This research article exhibits grounded memristor emulator circuit. It includes a single Differential Voltage Current Conveyor Transconductance Amplifier (DVCCTA) as an active block with few grounded passive components. The incremental and decremental configurations for the proposed memristor can be achieved through a simple flip of the input ports. The proposed model also provides a resistor-based controllability feature. The workability of the proposed memristor has been demonstrated using PSPICE simulation with CMOS 0.18 μm TSMC technology parameter. The operating frequency and tunability responses in the current-voltage (I-V) plane have been verified in the simulation section and can operate in the megahertz range, showing acceptable accord with the theory. Furthermore, Monte Carlo process analysis, as well as the single and parallel-connected structure, have been analyzed to examine the robustness of the proposed ME model. The proposed emulator circuit is grounded, straightforward and prohibits the use of extra sub-circuit elements making it suitable for integrated circuits implementation.
