Abstract: Switched memristor digital-to-analog conversion employs a set of switch-selectable programmed resistances corresponding to a digital-to-analog conversion mapping to convert a digital input into an analog output. The digital input is to establish an analog resistance of a plurality of switched memristors connected in series that are switch selectable. The plurality of switched memristors is to provide the set of switch-selectable programmed resistances in accordance with the digital-to-analog conversion mapping.

Abstract: An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a first module, a second module, and a third module. The first module is coupled to an element whose status is to be determined, and the first module is to receive an input current that increases over time. The second module is to perform a temporal derivative of a voltage across the element. The third module is to provide an output signal based on a current behavior of the element, according to a change in voltage as a function of a change in current.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a device is described. The device includes a cross-bar array of memristive elements. Each memristive element has a conductance value. The device also includes a column of offset elements. An offset element is coupled to a row of memristive elements and has a conductance value. The device also includes a number of accumulation elements. An accumulation element is coupled to a column of memristive elements. The accumulation element collects an intermediate output from the column and subtracts from the intermediate output an output from the column of offset elements.

Abstract: A circuit for a neuron of a multi-stage compute process is disclosed. The circuit comprises a weighted charge packet (WCP) generator. The circuit may also include a voltage divider controlled by a programmable resistance component (e.g., a memristor). The WCP generator may also include a current mirror controlled via the voltage divider and arrival of an input spike signal to the neuron. WCPs may be created to represent the multiply function of a multiply accumulate processor. The WCPs may be supplied to a capacitor to accumulate and represent the accumulate function. The value of the WCP may be controlled by the length of the spike in signal times the current supplied through the current mirror. Spikes may be asynchronous. Memristive components may be electrically isolated from input spike signals so their programmed conductance is not affected. Positive and negative spikes and WCPs for accumulation may be supported.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a control circuit is described. The control circuit includes a source following component to receive an input voltage and output a switching voltage. The circuit also includes an input leg of a current mirror coupled to the source following component. The input leg of the current mirror replicates the switching voltage to an output leg of the current mirror of a memristive bit cell. The circuit also includes a number of current control components. At least one of the current control components enforces a constant current through the source following component and other current control components maintain the input leg of the current mirror and the output leg of the current mirror at the same current.

Abstract: In the examples provided herein, an electrostatic discharge (ESD) recording circuit has a first memristive element coupled to a pin of an integrated circuit. The first memristive element switches from a first resistance to a second resistance when an ESD event occurs at the pin, and the first resistance is less than the second resistance. The ESD recording circuit also has shunting circuitry to shunt energy from an additional ESD event away from the first memristive element.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a circuit having first and second analog processors and an analog-to-digital converter coupled to the first and second analog processors. The first analog processor provides a first analog signal having a voltage representing a function of a first vector and a second vector. The second analog processor provides a second analog signal having a voltage representing a function of a binary inverse of the first vector and the second vector. The analog-to-digital converter receives the first analog signal and the second analog signal, compares a signal selected from a group consisting of the first analog signal and the second analog signal to a reference voltage and based on the comparison to the reference voltage, determines a digital result representing the function of the first vector and the second vector.
