INTRODUCTION
 Every person with a basic knowledge of electronics would be familiar with
  the three fundamental circuit elements —
                                 RESISTOR
                                 CAPACITOR
                                 INDUCTOR

 These three elements are defined by the relation between two of the four
  fundamental circuit variables — current, voltage, charge and flux.

 In 1971, Leon Chua discovered a fourth fundamental circuit element which
  he named as
                  MEMRISTOR [MEMORY + RESISTOR]
BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION
 In 1960, Prof. Bernard Widrow of Stanford University developed a new
  circuit element named- MEMISTOR.

 The MEMISTOR was a three-terminal device .


 The resistance of the MEMISTOR was controlled by CHARGE.


 In 1968, F. Argall published a paper, ―”Switching phenomenon in
  titanium oxide thin films” , whose results are similar to that of the
  memristor model proposed by Stanley Williams and his team.
SOMETHING MISSING
 Leon Chua compared the way of defining circuit elements to
 Aristotle‘s theory of matter.




        ARISTOTLE”S THEORY
In 1971, Leon Chua mathematically predicted that there is a fourth
fundamental circuit element characterized by a relationship between charge
and flux linkage which he named as MEMRISTOR.
DEFINITION OF A MEMRISTOR BY LEON
                    CHUA
 Memristor is defined as a two-terminal passive circuit element.


 The flux between the two terminals is a function of the amount of electric
  charge q that has passed through the device .




 Memristor can be used to store charge and hence this can be exploited for
  memory storage.

HISTORY OF MEMORY DEVICES




The 1024-bit Selectron tube were used in 1946




        Punch card reader and writer
8-level punch tape (8 holes per row)




Magnetic Drum Memory of the UNIVAC computer
The row of tape drives for the UNIVAC I computer




The standard compact cassette & The Commodore Datassette
An 8-inch floppy and floppy drive next to a regular
                       3.5-inch floppy disk




          A Laserdisc next to a regular DVD
IBM Model 350, the first-ever hard disk drive

PRESENT DAY MEMORY DEVICES

  SD Card             Blue-ray Disc
AND THE FUTURE OF MEMORY IS HERE




           AWAITING !




          MEMRISTOR
MODEL OF MEMRISTOR FROM HP LABS
In 2008, the memristor in device form was developed by Stanley Williams
and his group in the Information and Quantum Systems (IQS) Lab at HP.




Here, D is the device length and w is the length of doped region.
WRITE AND ERASE OPERATIONS
 A bias to memristor is applied to sample its
  current value.

 The READ circuitry will either return logic 0
  or logic 1.

 ERASE operation is defined when memristor
  is taken from logic 0 to logic 1.

 WRITE operation is defined when memristor
  is taken from logic 1 to logic 0.
ADVANTAGES OF USING MEMRISTORS
 Provides greater resiliency and reliability .


 Have great data density.


 Faster and inexpensive than MRAM.


 Uses less energy and produces less heat.


 Would allow for a quicker boot up .


 Operating apart from 0’s and 1's allows it to imitate brain functions.
WHAT SETS MEMRISTORS APART !!

 Conventional devices use only 0 and 1; Memristor can use anything
  between 0 and 1 (0.3, 0.8, 0.5, etc.)

 Faster than Flash memory.
    Allow digital cameras to take pictures with no delay in between.


 Innovating nanotechnology due to the fact that it performs better the
  smaller it becomes.
FUTURE TECHNOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
 Hope to one day have a computer that processes information in the same way
  as the human brain.
    Gaining control over the device could lead to computers that actually
      learn.

 Could lead to the replacement of the transistor.


 Appliances that “learn” from experiences.


 Could be put in cell phones as monitoring devices to track pollution and
  other things in the environment.

 Used in common devices for unbelievable storage.
CONCLUSION

 The showcased memristor memory extols the advantages of using the new
  technology in memory applications.

 The memristor memory exhibits lower power and energy consumption
  when compared to flash memory.

 Keeping the future aspects of Memristors in mind HP-Hynix are planning
  to sweep out the present day flash memories and conquer the market.
Thank You !
