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).

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.

A memristive junction (400) can comprise a first electrode (102) and second electrode (104), with a memristive region (106) situated between them. The memristive region is configured to switch between two activation states via a switching voltage (118) applied between the electrodes. The activation state can be ascertained by application of a reading voltage between the first electrode and second electrode. The junction further comprises a rectifier region situated at an interface (420) between the first electrode and the memristive region, and comprising a layer (402) of temperature-responsive transition material that is substantially conductive at the switching voltage and substantially resistive at the reading voltage.

A frequency source and a method of frequency generation employ a memristive negative differential resistance (M-NDR) voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The frequency source includes a first M-NDR VCO of a plurality of memristive VCOs to provide a first signal having a first signal frequency. The frequency source further includes a second M-NDR VCO of the plurality to provide a second signal having a second signal frequency. The first and second M-NDR VCOs are interconnected with the plurality of memristive VCOs. The first and second M-NDR VCOs have independent programmable states and are connected to a common output of the frequency source. The method includes providing an M-NDR VCOs, where each M-NDR VCO includes an M-NDR device connected in parallel with a capacitance, and applying a bias voltage to activate a selected M-NDR VCO of the plurality to produce a frequency output.
