Abstract

A new emulator circuit for designing memcapacitor is proposed in this work. The suggested circuit is designed using a current conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCTA), a memristor and a capacitor. Behaviour of the proposed circuit has been examined for a frequency range of 0.6Hz to 6.4Hz with the help of simulations performed in LTSPICE using TSMC 180nm process parameters. It has been observed that the area inside lobes reduces with increase in frequency. In comparison to other emulators reported in literature, the suggested circuit uses fewer passive components and does not require analog multipliers, thus making it simple to design. The correctness and efficacy of the proposed design are verified using transient analysis, non-volatility analysis, and pinched hysteresis loops.

Keywords: Memcapacitor, CCTA, Emulator, Mem-element
