Abstract

This paper proposes a memristor emulator circuit based on operational transconductance amplifiers. This emulator circuit is imitated the behavior of a titanium dioxide memristor model using commercial available integrated circuit. Thus, the hardware of proposed emulator circuit can be built using common devices that seek in the market. Also, it can be used in both simulations and experiments which can be used as a teaching aid and for real circuit applications. PSPICE simulation and experimental results are given as agree well with theory.
