Memristor Emulators

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Memristor Networks

Abstract

There are three possible stages of exploring the memristor as the fourth fundamental circuit element via its model: (1) Generation of the model, (2) Simulation of the element behavior with the aid of the model, and (3) Hardware emulation of the memristor . This chapter deals with the third stage, describing circuit ideas of memristor emulators for practical laboratory experiments.
