Abstract

Memristive devices are novel structures, developed primarily as memory. Another interesting application for memristive devices is logic circuits. In this paper, MRL (Memristor Ratioed Logic) - a hybrid CMOS-memristive logic family - is described. In this logic family, OR and AND logic gates are based on memristive devices, and CMOS inverters are added to provide a complete logic structure and signal restoration. Unlike previously published memristive-based logic families, the MRL family is compatible with standard CMOS logic. A case study of an eight-bit full adder is presented and related design considerations are discussed.
