Abstract

Memristors are novel devices that could naturally be designed as memory elements. Recently, several methods of designing memristors for logic operations have been proposed. These methods, mostly, make use of bipolar memristors. In this paper, we propose a method for performing logic with unipolar memristors based on OR and NOT logic gates. An integration of the basic building blocks into more complicated logic functions is described and demonstrated. Our results indicate that any logic function could be performed using an external controller. Thus, adding the capability of performing logic computations to numerous types of unipolar memristive materials in addition to their memory capability.
