Design and practical implementation of memristor-based threshold logic gates

Current advances in emerging memory technologies enable novel and unconventional computing architectures for high-performance and low-power electronic systems carrying out massively parallel operations at the edge. One emerging technology, ReRAM, also known as memristor, is gathering attention due to its attractive features for logic and memory computing systems. These include nanoscale dimensions, low-power operation and multi-state programming. The introduction of memristors has enabled the development of a new era of computing through hybridization of circuit and system design. At the same time, standalone CMOS circuit design seems to have reached its physical and functional limitations. Thus, further research towards novel logic families, such as Threshold Logic Gates (TLGs) is needed. TLGs constitute a logic family known for its high-speed and low power consumption. Although many implementation concepts of TLG circuit are assuming the use of memristors, few of them are based on physical ReRAM devices.& more ...
