Progress on Memristor-Based Analog Logic Operation

There is always a need for low-power, area-efficient VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration) design and this increasing day by day. However, conventional methods based on Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) devices Complementary (CMOS) technology cannot meet the performance requirements. The memristor, as promising computing memory integration device, offers new research idea logic circuit structure architecture innovation, given its non-volatility, scalability, low power consumption, fast switching speed, etc. This paper proposes brief overview of characteristics current status memristor-based circuits analyzes their applications in numerical expression memory. benefits drawbacks various analog structures are summarized compared. In addition, some solution strategies these issues presented. Finally, prospects memristors implementation large-scale memristor arrays, novel in-memory computing, neural network computing.
