Abstract

Recent discovery of the memristor has sparked a new wave of enthusiasm and optimism in revolutionising circuit design, marking a new era for the advancement of neuromorphic and analogue applications. In this work, we consider practical applications in which the highly non-linear dynamic response of the memristor can be employed. It is shown that the device can be utilised as a non-volatile memory element and/or a programmable dynamic load, with particular emphasis given into bio-inspired analog implementations that typically exploit the ability of the memristor to support both logic and memory simultaneously. Finally, a novel concept is presented demonstrating the capacity of memristive networks in realising demanding image processing algorithms and more specifically edge detection.
