Memristor Logic in Digital Circuitry

For the development of the market of modern microelectronics, methods are required that allow continuously increasing the productivity and energy efficiency of semiconductor products and, at the same time, reducing the required minimum area of the crystal while maintaining its functionality. Therefore, the integration of nonvolatile elements (memristors) and CMOS technologies, as well as the creation of methods for synthesizing digital circuits with smmristor functional units—memristor logic (MeMOS logic)—are urgent problems. The paper proposes a block method for the synthesis of hybrid MeMOS circuits, using minterm maps, which makes it possible to simultaneously synthesize a MeMOS circuit and optimize it. Examples of the synthesis of combinational (Exclusive OR) and sequential ( RS -trigger) schemes. The existing and new variants of solutions to problems of the synthesis of combinational and sequential integrated circuits with memristors are considered. It is shown that the average power dissipated RS -trigger is 7.7 μW for the standard logic and 2.2 μW for the memristor logic. The power consumption of the XOR circuit is 13 μW for the standard logic and 9.2 μW for the memristor logic.
