Designing Memristor-Based Timing Circuits and Performance Comparison with CMOS Counterparts

The implementation of Memristor will have a wider range of applications in various fields. Digital switching systems depend on reliable and high-quality synchronization from timing circuits and they are the fundamental units of ICs. So we designed timing circuits using hybrid integration of Memristor using the TEAM model, which is simplified yet captures all main characteristics and CMOS (90 nm technology). Timing circuits like astable multivibrator, voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) are designed and we analyzed all the important parameters like frequency stability, delay, power, phase noise, noise factor, no of devices used and compare them with the timing circuits designed by conventional CMOS. All the circuits are designed and simulated in Virtuoso Cadence.
