What is Memristor

FUTURE To conclude

What is memristor ?

WHAT IS IT ?
# The fourth mystery element that joins the capacitor,inductor and resistor. # A type of electrical circuit.

MEMRISTOR

Memristor is really a MEMory

ResISTOR

Memristor can be defined as a two

terminal device which shows the relation between magnetic flux and charge
memristor symbol

The term Memristor was first proposed by Leon Chaua in 1971 when he was a rising professor at

The University of California Berkeley

LEON.O.CHUA

MEMRISTOR emristor

A memristor is a nonlinear resistor, a resistor whose resistance changes over time based on the amount of current that has passed through it.

Memristor Analogy

Use less energy and produce less heat.

Does not lose information when turned off. Have great data density. Combines the jobs of working memory and hard drives into one tiny device. Faster and less expensive than MRAM.

Nonvolatile memories

Booting free computers

Logic/computing

Artificial Brain

Future

Memcapacitor
and

Meminductor

Future Technological Significance

Development of nonvolatile memory with a memristor base. HP is currently focusing on this possibility. Use less power. More magnetic than magnetic disks.

Could lead to replacement of the transistor

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

To conclude
It is sure that Memristor is going to revolutionaries the 21st century as radically as the transistor in the 20th century But Memristor will have to wait a few years for a killer app like transistor which had to wait almost a decade after its invention for the killer app in the form of hearing aids

Finally as Leon O Chua mentioned

Its time to rewrite all the EE textbooks
