Power Minimization of a Memristor-Based Wien Bridge Oscillator through a Simscape Framework

Power consumption and thereby the power minimization strategies in different steps of design of nanoelectronic circuits is a raising concern today. Memristors with its inherent low power consumption have inspired the researchers to think in a different way. Proper modeling and intelligent use of memristors in hybrid mode with CMOS can show a bright direction for tomorrows design. This paper tried to shed the light on this issue by inspecting the problem with a specific case study of Wien-bridge oscillator circuit with different configurations of circuit replacement for heterogeneity and thereby to identify proper and judicious use of memristors for power optimization. Simulation results are quite encouraging to properly predict the appropriate configuration for power reduction.
