PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MEMRISTOR BASED SRAM AND CONVENTIONAL 6T SRAM CELL

Abstract

In current times, the number of transistors on a chip are increasing day by day. With the advancement in technology the numbers are only expected to increase. The increase in numbers of transistors on chip in turn increases the power consumption and it also increases the difficulty of fabricating the chip. There is a need of a device which can substitute the transistors on chip. Memristor is one such element. In this report, I have discussed about memristor which can be an alternative to transistors. Different types of combinational logic possible with the help of memristors is discussed. Using that, a memristor based SRAM is designed. The newly developed circuit is then compared with the traditional 6T SRAM cell. The comparison is done on the basis of delay and power. After that there is an attempt to reduce the power consumption in memristor based SRAM using MTCMOS technique. All the circuits are implemented on LTspice software.
