Abstract
The continuous-level memristor emulator is a circuit that uses off-the-shelf components to emulate a memristor. The circuit uses two current-feedback operational-amplifiers (CFOAs) and uses an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)-based circuit in place of a diode resistive network to provide a continuous level of memristance instead of two binary states. The OTA is forced to work in its nonlinear region by the voltage Vapplied to its positive input terminal. Thus, the transfer function of the OTA-based circuit will be a nonlinear function. Experimental testing shows that the continuous-level memristor emulator is operational as a memristor, and the emulator may be used, e.g., in place of a memristor in a multivibrator circuit.
