Expandable circuits of mutator-based memcapacitor emulator

摘要

An efficient method to build the expandable circuits of memcapacitor (MC) emulator in various configurations is proposed using our expandable memristor (MR) emulator. Most of the previous studies succeeded in designing only a stand-alone memcapacitor emulator. In this study, the expandable architecture of memcapacitor emulator is addressed, where the connectivity and interoperability are the main concern. It is shown that the memcapacitor circuits can be built only with memristors together with a single mutator, which is connected after each input source. Examples of serial, parallel and hybrid memcapacitor circuits are demonstrated in this paper. Also, it is shown that complicated circuits of Wye (Y) and Delta (Δ) memcapacitor connections with multiple input sources can be built with the proposed memcapacitor emulator. Various simulation results showing the proper operations of the proposed mutator-based expandable memcapacitor emulators are included in this paper.
