Origin:
In 1960s generalizes
circuit theory to nonlinear systems
Definition:
Memristor is defined as an element
that relates flux and charge.
f q
dq / dt i (t )
Symbol for a
Memristor

Memristors behave like a pipe whose diameter varies according to the amount and direction of the current
passing through it
Properties of Memristors
1. Flux Charge
Curve of a
Memristor
. Its -q curve is
monotonically increasing.
. The slope of the q curve
is called Memristance M
(q).
. Memristor is passive if and
only if Memristance is nonnegative. (M (q) 0).
2. CurrentVoltage
Curve of a
An important
fingerprint of a
Memristor
Memristor is the pinched hysteresis
current-voltage characteristics.
When the voltage then the current
and vice versa.
The pinched hysteresis loop shrinks
with the increase in the excitation
frequency.
Memristive Systems are defined

By changing the speed and strength of the current, it
is possible to change the behavior of the device.
A fast and hard current causes it to act as a digital
device.
A soft and slow current causes it to act as an
analog device.
Future Research
Memristor memories have already been developed and
the researchers at HP believe that they can offer a product
with a storage density of about 20 gigabytes per square
centimetre by 2013.
Camera can take days worth of video with storage the size
of an average thumb drive.
Pattern Recognition and Brain Mapping.
Could lead to replacement of Transistors.
Researchers have defined two new mem-devices MemCapacitors and Mem-Inductors thus generalising the
concept of memory to capacitors and inductors.
