摘要:
A switchable junction (600) having an intrinsic diode (634) formed with a voltage dependent resistor (640) is disclosed. The switchable junction comprises a first electrode (618), a second electrode (622), and a memristive matrix (620) configured to form an electrical interface (626) with the first electrode (618). The electrical interface has a programmable conductance. The voltage dependent resistor (640) is in electrical contact with the memristive matrix (620). The voltage dependent resistor is configured to form a rectifying diode interface (628) with the second electrode (622).
摘要:
Apparatus and methods related to memory resistors are provided. A feedback controller applies adjustment signals to a memristor. A non-volatile electrical resistance of the memristor is sensed by the feedback controller during the adjustment. The memristor is adjusted to particular values lying between first and second limiting values with minimal overshoot. Increased memristor service life, faster operation, lower power consumption, and higher operational integrity are achieved by the present teachings.

摘要:
Circuitry is provided that closely emulates biological neural responses. Two astable multivibrator circuits (AMCs), each including a negative differential resistance device, are coupled in series-circuit relationship. Each AMC is characterized by a distinct voltage-dependant time constant. The circuitry exhibits oscillations in electrical current when subjected to a voltage equal to or greater than a threshold value. Various oscillating waveforms can be produced in accordance with voltages applied to the circuitry.

A memcapacitor device includes a memcapacitive matrix interposed between a first electrode and a second electrode. The memcapacitive matrix includes deep level dopants having a first decay time constant and shallow level dopants having a second decay time constant. The second decay time constant is substantially shorter than the first decay time constant. The capacitance of the memcapacitor device depends upon an initial voltage applied across the memcapacitive matrix and a time dependent change in capacitance of the memcapacitor device depends upon the first decay time constant. A method for forming a memcapacitive device is also provided.
