Abstract

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a control circuit is described. The control circuit includes a source following component to receive an input voltage and output a switching voltage. The circuit also includes an input leg of a current mirror coupled to the source following component. The input leg of the current mirror replicates the switching voltage to an output leg of the current mirror of a memristive bit cell. The circuit also includes a number of current control components. At least one of the current control components enforces a constant current through the source following component and other current control components maintain the input leg of the current mirror and the output leg of the current mirror at the same current.
