WHAT IS IT ?

• # The fourth mystery element that joins the capacitor,inductor and resistor.

• # A type of electrical circuit.

MEMRISTOR

Memristor is really a MEMory ResISTOR

Memristor can be defined as a two

terminal device which shows the

relation between magnetic flux

and charge

memristor symbol

The term Memristor was first proposed by Leon Chaua in 1971 when he was a rising professor atThe University of California Berkeley

Basic Working Principle

MEMRISTORemristor

A memristor is a non-linear resistor, a resistor whose resistance changes over time based on the amount of current that has passed through it.

Memristor Analogy

BENEFITS OF MEMRISTORUse less energy and produce less heat.

Does not lose information when turned off.

Have great data density.

Combines the jobs of working memory and hard drives into one tiny device.

Faster and less expensive than MRAM.

Nonvolatile memories

Booting free computers

Logic/computing

Artificial Brain

Future

Memcapacitor and

Meminductor

Development of nonvolatile memory with a memristor base.

HP is currently focusing on this possibility.Use less power.More magnetic than magnetic disks.

Could lead to replacement of the transistor

Could be put in mobile phones as monitoring devices to track the pollution and other things in environment.

Future Technological

Significance

To conclude

It is sure that Memristor is going to revolutionaries the 21st century as radically as the transistor in the 20th century

But Memristor will have to wait a few years for a killer app like transistor which had to wait almost a decade after it’s invention for the killer app in the form of hearing aids

Finally as Leon O Chua mentioned

It’s time to rewrite all the EE textbooks”
