A Passive Circuit-Emulator for a Current-controlled Memristor

Abstract: A memristor is an electrical element, which has been conjectured in 1971 to complete the lumped circuit theory. Currently, researchers use memristors emulators through diodes and other passive (or active) elements to study circuits with possible attractors, chaos, and ways of implementing nonlinear transformations for low-voltage novel computing paradigms. However, to date, such passive memristor emulators have been voltage-controlled. In this study, the first circuit realization of a current-controlled passive emulator is established. The formal theory and simulations validate the proposed circuit.
