Abstract

Memristor which is recently discovered and known as missing circuit element is an important for memory, nonlinear and neuromorphic circuit designs. Modeling of memristor devices is essential for memristor based circuit design. In this paper, compact memristor which has high memristance value is introduced. The simulations are completed in LTspice program and expected results are obtained applying sinusoidal. Two memristor emulators are connected in serial, in parallel and promising results presented. The simulation results of applying positive pulse train to both of terminals of memristor are showed. The simulations of the proposed emulator showed the expected memristor characteristics.
