  • Abstract
    An alternate approach for sensing resistive memory based on a memristor is introduced. An AC input is used with the frequency domain response of a first-order filter formed by a memristor and a capacitor. This technique saves power by cutting down the DC current significantly and minimising the DC leakage current in a crossbar array of resistive memory bits.
