Abstract
Memristor-based adders using memristors-as-drivers (MAD) gates. As a result of employing MAD gates in memristor-based adders, such as ripple carry adders, carry select adders, conditional sum adders and carry lookahead adders, the number of delay steps may be less than half than the number of delay steps required in traditional CMOS implementations of adders. Furthermore, by using MAD gates, memristor-based adders can be implemented with less complexity (e.g., fewer memristors and drivers). As a result, by the memristor-based adders using MAD gates, the speed and complexity of a wide variety of arithmetic operations is improved.
