  • Patent number: 9619596
    Abstract: The floating memristor emulator is based on a circuit implementation that uses grounded capacitors and CFOAs in addition to combinations of diodes and resistors to provide the required nonlinearity and time constants. This circuit results in low power consumption, cost reduction and ease of implementation because it avoids the use of multipliers, ADCs and RDACs. The present circuit is used in an FM demodulator, which exploits the frequency-dependence of the memristance. Successful use in the FM demodulator confirmed the functionality of the present floating memristor emulator circuit.

  • Patent number: 9299922
    Abstract: The continuous-level memristor emulator is a circuit that uses off-the-shelf components to emulate a memristor. The circuit uses two current-feedback operational-amplifiers (CFOAs) and uses an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)-based circuit in place of a diode resistive network to provide a continuous level of memristance instead of two binary states. The OTA is forced to work in its nonlinear region by the voltage VDC applied to its positive input terminal. Thus, the transfer function of the OTA-based circuit will be a nonlinear function. Experimental testing shows that the continuous-level memristor emulator is operational as a memristor, and the emulator may be used, e.g., in place of a memristor in a multivibrator circuit.

  • Patent number: 9184734
    Abstract: A voltage or current controlled current-feedback operational-amplifier based multivibrator provides oscillation based on two current feedback operational amplifiers, three resistors and one grounded capacitor. The multivibrator can achieve almost constant frequency of oscillation and its duty cycle can be adjusted by a control voltage or a control current. The multivibrator can be used for generating pulse-width modulated signals.

  • Patent number: 8917146
    Abstract: A current controlled operational transconductance amplifier based sinusoidal oscillator circuit that provides oscillation based on the transconductance and parasitic capacitance of the operational transconductance amplifier without externally connected capacitances. The oscillation frequency is adjusted through a variable current source or a variable resistor with a DC voltage source.
