Summary: This article introduces the design, simulation, and implementation of a floating flux-controlled meminductor emulator based on the Riordan gyrator. The feasibility of this design is demonstrated through SPICE simulations using off-the-shelf components and a memristor, or a memristor emulator, for different input signals and frequencies in both grounded and floating configurations. A low-frequency breadboard-level implementation is included to prove the practicality of the design.

Summary: This brief introduces a simple charge-controlled emulator for achieving three types of memory element, which can be further divided into grounded and floating forms. By combining three switches and preserved positions, the memristor, memcapacitor, and meminductor can be obtained. This emulator boasts the widest bandwidth and highest operating frequency, making it a cornerstone for designing high density, high-speed, low power integrated circuits.

Summary: A new passive non-ideal floating memristor emulator circuit (MEC) consisting of four transistors, two resistors, and one capacitor is proposed in this paper. The circuit does not require external bias and exhibits Type-II memristive hysteresis loop. Simulation results using the Cadence design environment validate the theoretical study, and practical applications of the MEC in Schmitt trigger circuit and amplitude demodulation circuit are demonstrated.

Summary: This paper presents a novel memelement emulator configuration that can emulate the function of a floating meminductor and memristor element. The proposed circuit, based on modified VDCC and OTA, uses only two ABBs and three grounded passive elements. The circuit has the advantages of electronically/resistively tunable emulated response and use of only grounded passive elements. Simulation and experiment results verify the functioning of the meminductive and memristive behavior without the need for external multiplier IC/circuitry or passive inductor.

Summary: The paper discusses the impossibility of designing a single input single element-controlled universal memelement emulator in detail. Such a configuration would allow the realization of any of the three memelements (Memristor/Memcapacitor/Meminductor) by using a circuit element as an inductor (L), capacitor (C), or resistor (R) with the same input port. The analysis shows that it is not feasible to build a highly flexible universal memelement emulator with this kind of circuit configuration. Only two ideal memelements can be realized at most using these structures. If these circuit structures are used to realize the remaining third memelement, the resulting element becomes a non-ideal memelement. Two circuit configurations are provided to demonstrate this theory using charge-controlled and flux-controlled memelement emulation approaches.

Summary: In this article, a meminductor simulator circuit based on an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is proposed. It does not use a memristor and is suitable for physically produced memristor structures. The circuit has charge control, a floating structure, and electronically controlled characteristics. It operates in high-frequency regions with low power consumption and can be operated as both a decreasing model and an increasing model.

Summary: The memristor, as the fourth fundamental element in electronic circuits, possesses unique memory and resistance properties. While there aren't any electronic solutions based on the memristor, there has been a significant increase in interest for application development. Currently, only numerical Matlab or Spice models and memristor emulators are available for simulating and designing memristor systems.
