Abstract

This paper presents a behavioural model of a memristor and a methodology to perform simulations using the model in memristive circuits. The model was implemented in Verilog-AMS and simulated in Mentor Graphics Eldo with AMS support. A case study of a memristive cell is presented to validate the model in a mixed circuit containing memristor model and SPICE components. This model can be applied in mixed circuit simulation of memory architectures, neuromorphic circuits and memristor based analog and RF circuits.
