In 2013, Pershin et al. published a paper showing an idealized memristor model for a device that changes it’s conductance as a function of the applied voltage. The paper can be downloaded here. This blog post is about taking the model from the paper... read more
While semiconductors and software continue to expand the capabilities of electronics products, a new kind of passive component is breaking into the fast lane. The memristor (short for memory varistor, or memory resistor) has been called the fourth type of... read more
A Big Need For Something Simple Reliable and robust CMOS compatible memristors exist and they are going to change the world of computing and electronics. Before this can happen, however, we must separate fantasy from fact and we all must learn how to use ... read more
Xyce is a new (relative to the original SPICE) circuit simulator from Sandia National Laboratories that is SPICE-compatible but operates in a fundamentally different way under the hood. Xyce boasts a modern code base, an active forum, supports large-scale... read more
In this post, I talk about the current state of memristor modeling after having rolled up my sleeves for the last several weeks, getting my hand dirty with as many open source circuit simulators as possible, and simulating memristors using various techniq... read more
In a previous post titled Well-posed Memristor Modeling with Xyce and Verilog-A, we showed how to create Verilog memristor models for simulation in Xyce. In this post, we take memristor modeling in Xyce one step further and show how to create a device mod... read more
In a previous post titled Native Memristor Device Development in Xyce, I showed how to create the Joglekar memristor model natively in Xyce, by first cloning an existing Yakopcic device model followed by implementing the Joglekar’s dX/dt behavior. In th... read more
In 2012, Chris Yakopcic co-authored a book chapter in the book titled Advances in Neuromorphic Memristor Science and Applications, featuring a chapter on memristor modeling in LTSpice. In this chapter, he does a wonderful review of the most common memrist... read more
AHaH Computing, Thermodynamic Computing, Competitive Computing, Memristive Dot-product Engines, Dual Memristor Cross bars – are these all different names or variation of the same thing? All are gaining the attention of the academic and commercial re... read more
The Knowm team attended this year’s NICE workshop at IBM Almaden, sponsored by Semiconductor Research Corporation, IBM and the Kavli Foundation. The conference was filled with a good sampling of the modern celebrities of neuromorphics and representa... read more
