Memristor-based programmable delay element

Memristor has a great deal of application researches recently because of its nanotechnology, rapid conversion, resistance-memoring, compatibility with CMOS technology. This paper proposes a CMOS delay element based on memristor resistance-memoring and threshold voltage. The unit can be programmed precisely. Simulation results show that the delay can get perfect monotonicity and controllability.
