Incredible Semicunducyor Device



Inventor: HP (Hewlett-Packard)

What is a memristor?


Memristors are basically a next class of electrical circuit elements , joining the previous resistor, the capacitor, and inductor. Theoretically, Memristors, a concatenation of “memory resistors”, are a type of passive circuit elements that maintain a relationship between the time integrals and voltage across a two terminal device. Its name signifies it ”Remembers” and that is the key feature of it.

What can MEMRISTOR:

§ . Data like DRAM or Flash but it doesn’t require any energy to maintain the data storage.

§ . The memristor is easy to make and completly compatible with todays CMOS technology.

§. It can be scaled to very small geometries.

§ .The MEMERISTOR can perform logic operations and it can also act as Microprocessor.

Anology for MEMRISTOR:

The reason that the memristor is different from older basic elements is that,it can remembers previous data from which is off, mean to say it carries a memory of its past. When you turn off the voltage to the circuit, the memristor still remembers how much was applied before and for how long. The classic analogy for a resistor is a pipe through which water runs. The width of pipe is analogous to the resistance or oposition for the flow of current, narrower the pipe higher the resistance and vice versa. Normal resistors have an unchanging pipe size. A memristor, on the other hand, changes with the amount of water that gets pushed through. If you push water through the pipe in one direction, the pipe gets larger (less resistive). If you push the water in the other direction, the pipe gets smaller (more resistive). And the memristor remembers. When the water flow is turned off, the pipe size does not change.

What this will provide?·

Cheaper and faster than flash memory.·

Large memory densities.

Consume lower power compared to RAM.

So ready to use …………………………..Coming Soon………..
