Abstract

In this chapter, theory, circuit design methodologies and possible applications of Cellular Nanoscale Networks (CNNs) exploiting memristor technology are reviewed. Memristor-based CNNs platforms (MCNNs) make use of memristors to realize analog multiplication circuits that are essential to perform CNN calculation with low power and small area.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In Eq. 3 the cell states are noted as \(h_{i,j}\) instead if \(y_{i,j}\) since for the BPI algorithm the possible states are discrete and properly fixed. On the other hand, in the algorithm by Itoh and Chua the state of the single cell coincides with the actual internal state of the memristive element.
