CMOS Memristor Hybrid Circuit based High Speed Low Power Multiplier Design

Memristor circuits are known to be less power consuming, extremely fast and highly scalable. Memristor, a two terminal fundamental passive element having a unique pinched hysteresis loop, can act as a memory element. This paper introduces design of basic logic gates using CMOS and memristor for the design of a 2 bit multiplier circuit. The performance of all circuits had analyzed against standard CMOS implementations. Promising results were obtained by the transient analysis done at 1.0 Volts. The results infer that hybrid design can be used as a suitable replacement for CMOS circuits in the future cases due to its great speed and high scalability.
