Memristor based Material Implication Logic for Implementation of Basic logic Gates and Circuits

Abstract

A physical memristor was realized a few years back by Hewlett Packard labs. Instantly it became the topic of interest for many scientists and researchers. Memristor has joined resistor, capacitor and inductor in the list of basic two-terminal passive circuit elements. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become a major choice of technology for the implementation of various digital circuits because they offer various features such as quick time to market, reprogrammability, small development overhead, large densities up to millions of gates on a single chip and several others. All these features make FPGAs a suitable choice for implementing the logic. In this paper, memristor based material implication logic has been discussed. Material implication logic can be used to design logic gates. These logic gates are then used in special hard-wired adder and blocks of FPGAs.
