    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for encrypting data in a memristor array. The data may be scrambled by multiplying an input data unit by another data unit, by multiplying each element of a first data unit by a different instance of a second data unit. The process continues until all elements of the first data unit are multiplied by a different instance of the second data unit. The elements of the data units may be represented by resistive values of a memristor array. The result of all of the above multiplication of different instances of the second data unit are a new set of data units. All of the resulting data units are added together by adding the currents associated with values of the memristors representing the resulting data units. The operation may be performed as a finite field computation, with the memristor array.

    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided. In one aspect, a device for driving a memristor array includes a substrate including a well having a bottom layer, a first wall and a second wall. The substrate is formed of a strained layer of a first semiconductor material. A vertical JFET is formed in the well. The vertical JFET includes a vertical gate region formed in a middle portion of the well with a gate region height less than a depth of the well. A channel region is formed of an epitaxial layer of a second semiconductor wrapped around the vertical gate region. Vertical source regions are formed on both sides of a first end of the vertical gate region, and vertical drain regions are formed on both sides of a second end of the vertical gate region.

    Abstract: A DPE memristor crossbar array system includes a plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays. Each of the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays includes a primary memristor crossbar array and a redundant memristor crossbar array. The redundant memristor crossbar array includes values that are mathematically related to values within the primary memristor crossbar array. In addition, the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays includes a block of shared analog circuits coupled to the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays. The block of shared analog circuits is to determine a dot product value of voltage values generated by at least one partitioned memristor crossbar array of the plurality of partitioned memristor crossbar arrays.

    Abstract: Example implementations disclosed herein can be used to decode memory elements in a crosspoint array. In one example implementation, a drain voltage is applied to a drain terminal of a field effect transistor switch for a selected row in the crosspoint array associated with the selected memory element. A bulk terminal of the field effect transistor switch for the selected row can be biased with a well voltage that is independent of the drain, source, or substrate voltages. In such examples, the gate terminal of the field effect transistor switch for the selected row can be driven with a gate voltage comprising the drain voltage and the well voltage. The drain voltage, the well voltage, and the gate voltage are selected to cause the field effect transistor switch for the selected row to operate as an ohmic switch.
