MEMRISTOR • PRESENTED BY • Varun Thomas • S7 R • No 39
CONTENT • Introduction • Basic memristor model • Analogy • Types of memristors • Working of memristor • Memristor as storage device • Advantages/Disadvantages • Application • Conclusion • Reference
Courtesy : memristor.org/technical-details INTRODUCTION • A fundamental circuit • A two terminal device • Relates to charge and flux
BASIC MEMRISTOR MODEL • Doped: region of low resistance • Undoped: region of high resistance • R off : Resistance when w/d=0 • R on: Resistance when w/d=1 Courtesy : acm.org/memristor.html
ANALOGY • Courtesy :www.memristor.org/memory-resistor/education
TYPES OF MEMRISTOR • Spintronic Memristor • Titanium dioxide Memristor
WORKING OF MEMRISTOR • Spintronic Memristor • Spin of electrons • Magnetism • Magneto resistance principal • Electrons flow alters the magnetization state
WORKING OF MEMRISTOR • Two thin layer sandwich • First layer oxygen deficient • Oxygen vacancies control resistance • Titanium dioxide Memristor

MEMRISTOR FOR STORAGE • Nonvolatile • Energy required during switching • Memristor as switches in crossbar architecture
CROSSBAR ARCHITECTURE • Connected mesh of perpendicular wires • Crossing wires connected by switch • Switch closed applying positive voltage • Switch opened by reversed voltage
CROSSBAR ARCHITECTURE • Courtesy by memristor.org/memory-resistor/education
MEMORY MANAGEMENT • Read operation • Write operation • Addressing
READ OPERATION • Voltage below threshold voltage applied • If ON conducts • If OFF doesn't conduct Courtesy :acm.org/memristor.html
WRITE OPERATION • A voltage above threshold voltage applied • Stage inverted by opposite polarity • Voltage for duration tw applied Courtesy :acm.org/memristor.html
ADDRESSING • Lines arranged in columns and rows • Cell addressed by row and column • Courtesy :www.memristor.org/memory-resistor/education
ADVANTAGES • Eliminates delay • Speed inversely proportional to size • Large density 1terabit/cm2 • Analog data storage possible
DISADVANTAGES • Dissipates heat • No design standards • Needs defect engineering
APPLICATION • Faster SSD’s • Brain like system • Smaller hardware devices • Replace DRAM
CONCLUSION • Latest technology • High speed memory devices • Low power requirements
