Abstract:
Memristive devices enable non-volatile data storage and in-memory computing capabilities. By using stateful logic approaches, hybrid CMOS nano-crossbar arrays offer additional functionalities such as arithmetic operations. To enable storage and computing on large-scale arrays, parasitic current paths within the array must be avoided. Therefore, for example, a complementary resistive switch (1CRS) or a bipolar rectifying element (‘selector’) in series to a resistive switching device (1S1R) is required at each cross-point junction to suppress low-ohmic sneak paths. In this work 1S1R arrays are considered. First, the in-memory adder concept, initially developed for CRS arrays, is adjusted for a 1S1R array. After that an optimized design is presented and verified by means of memristive simulations. Third, the energy consumption of both concepts is evaluated as a function of array size, and the delay of memristive adder designs are compared quantitatively.
