The Implementation of Logic Gates Using Only Memristor Based Neuristor

Abstract

One can learn about memristor-based neuron circuits in literature if one wishes to implement more effective circuits, as they are linear, have a high density, and consume little energy. This paper presents two logic gates based on memristor-based neurons. The neuron circuit can float, and therefore can be used as a circuit element. Electronic neurons, or neuristors, generate spikes when DC current is applied to them; likewise, the proposed logic gates generate spikes when appropriate inputs are applied to them. We simulated the proposed gates with SPICE using TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS process models.
