Primitive IPs Design Based on a Memristor-CMOS Circuit Technology

This paper presents design methodology for Memristor-CMOS circuits and its application to primitive IPs design. We proposed a Memristor model and designed basic elements, Memristor AND/OR gates. The primitive IPs based on a Memristor-CMOS technology is proposed for a Memristive system design. The netlists of IPs are extracted from the layouts of Memristor-CMOS and is verified with SPICE-like Memristor model under 0.18 μm CMOS technology. As a result, an example design Memristor-CMOS full adder has only 47.6 % of silicon area compare to the CMOS full-adder.
