Power dissipation analysis of memristor for low power integrated circuit applications

This paper reports a memory resistance (memristor) behavior for low power integrated circuit applications. The power dissipation of memristor is analyzed by using Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE). For power dissipation checking, the memristor is driven by some power supplies: sinusoidal, trapezoidal, triangular, and rectangle waveforms. From the SPICE simulation results, we found that the power dissipation which is driven by the triangular supply waveform is smaller as compared with the other power supplies.
