Abstract

Memristors can be used as logic gates. No design methodology exists, however, for memristor-based combinatorial logic. In this paper, the design and behavior of a memristive-based logic gate - an IMPLY gate - are presented and design issues such as the tradeoff between speed (fast write times) and correct logic behavior are described, as part of an overall design methodology. A memristor model is described for determining the write time and state drift. It is shown that the widely used memristor model - a linear ion drift memristor - is impractical for characterizing an IMPLY logic gate, and a different memristor model is necessary such as a memristor with a current threshold.
