Abstract

In this paper a robust design of a dual mode grounded memristor using single output operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) and differential voltage current conveyor (DVCC) has been reported. The reported memristor emulator design features a 50 mV operating voltage and a 1 MHz operating frequency, making it most appropriate for low-power and high-frequency applications. The presented memristor emulator design employs Cadence Virtuoso 0.18 µm CMOS technology, our reported emulator is validated by both theoretical and simulation results. By adjusting the DVCC's input voltage, the emulator can be set to work in both incremental and decremental mode. The proposed memristor has demonstrated improved performance in terms of band-width and tunability after sensitivity study of various parameters variability such as process variation, capacitor, and frequency variation, etc.
