A multiplier-less meminductor emulator with experimental results and neuromorphic application

Abstract

This research article presents a meminductor emulator without multiplier using double output second generation current conveyor (DO-CCII) and operational trans-conductance amplifiers (OTA) and minimum numbers of passive elements. The mathematical expression of meminductor is obtained and verified through various simulation i.e., hysteresis analysis, non-volatile analysis and process corner analysis. Also, presented post-layout simulation of silicon components (DO-CCII and OTA). Application of meminductor emulator as Amoeba behaviour is also incorporated in the Neuromorphic circuit. Furthermore, an experimental setup was also build using the off the shelf ICs AD844AN (for DO-CCII) and CA3080EZ (for OTA) to examine the experimental results. The proposed meminductor emulator is simulated in Cadence Virtuoso tool using standard CMOS 90 nm technology.
