Memristor emulator based on single CCII

With the introduction of the memristor design by the HP lab, there has been a surge of interest to perform different theoretical and experimental works to investigate various potential applications of the memristor. However, since the memristor is not available commercially, it is essential to design the emulator circuit for the memristors from the available electronic components. In this paper, we present the validation of a previously published memristor emulator through experimentation and introduce a simpler memristor emulator circuit that is built using only one second generation current conveyer (CCII), two diode-connected transistors, a capacitor and some resistors. The proposed circuit satisfies the fingerprints of the memristor in the I-V plane accurately. The circuit is very simple to implement in the lab for educational purpose. Furthermore, the mathematical model and analysis of the proposed emulator circuit are introduced. SPICE simulation and experimental results are also provided.
