CMOS-Memristor Hybrid Circuit for Edge Detection using NI Multisim and MATLAB

Udit kumar agarwal / April 3, 2019

Hello, In this post, we will have a look at the following: Setting up 180nm/100nm MOSFET Models in Multisim Setting up a memristor model in NI MULTISIM A CMOS-Memristor hybrid circuit for edge detection Using MATLAB for image analysis NI Multisim is an excellent tool for simulation of both analog and digital circuits. One reason I like it over LTSpice or PSpice is the ease with which one can simulate mixed-signal circuitry. Using Multisim along with MATLAB allows conversion of image(pixel by pixel) to its a corresponding discrete voltage signal and vice versa. We can import PSPICE models to multisim…

Memristors: Models, Window Functions, and their SPICE Simulations

Udit kumar agarwal / January 9, 2019

This post mainly covers different famous memristor models, window functions along with their SPICE simulations(done on LTSPICE). The window function is used to add non-linearity at the boundaries. In contrast, Models are used to establish a linear/non-linear relationship between the rate of state change and the stimulus (current/voltage). Content: Models Linear Non-linear Threshold Macro-model Window functions Properties of window functions Types of window functions: Struckov Benderli Joglekar Biolek Prodomakis Jinxiang SPICE simulations Memristor Models Linear Ion drift Model (Ideal Model) In this model, there exists a linear relationship between the state derivative and the stimuli(Voltage/Current). It assumes that vacancies have…

Memristors : Motivation, Theory, and Feasibility

Udit kumar agarwal / October 2, 2018

Memristors, the fourth missing element after Inductance, Resistance, and capacitance, is nowadays a scorching topic of research among the electronics community. A large number of papers on its models, applications, and feasibility are now available. In this post, I’ll try to cover most of its background research: Content:- Introduction What are memristors? Characteristics of a memristor Transistor vs. memristor The polarity of a memristor and an analogy Memristor links to chaos theory?[TBD] Motivation well-known problems with present-day computers limitations of CMOS technology Moore’s soul at unrest Theory History Before HP After HP HP’s model Memristive systems Problems with Chua’s memristor…
