Digital arithmetic circuit and elimination of improper shutdown of PC using memristor

摘要

Every person with an electronics background will be familiar with the three fundamental circuit elements- the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor. In 1971, the fourth fundamental circuit element was postulated named as the memristor [1], which is short of memory + resistor. In May 2008, researchers at HP Labs published a paper announcing a model for the physical realization of the memristor. This paper deals with the modeling of the memristor in MATLAB environment and its subsequent applications as a non-volatile digital memory and in arithmetic circuits- adder and multiplier. Here we present the 1-bit non-volatile memory as a flip-flop, 2-bit adder and 2-bit multiplier. With the similar concepts the sizes of flip-flop, adder and multiplier can be increases. The major application can be the elimination of improper shutdown of computers and no data loss.
