New Voltage Mode Sense Amplifier Design with CMOS-Memristive Components

Abstract

Memristor is a new device that is widely used in recently proposed architectures to improve on-chip area and power consumption. This paper proposes novel CMOS-memristive Voltage Mode Sense Amplifier (VMSA) designed with TSMC lSOnm CMOS technology. In the proposed circuit, several CMOS transistors of the conventional CMOS sense amplifier design are replaced with memristive elements. The preliminary design is simulated in SPICE. The proposed amplifier ensures the reduction of on-chip area of the amplifier.
