Abstract
Memristors are passive components with a varying resistance that depends on the previous voltage applied across the device. While memristors are naturally used as memory, memristors can also be used for other applications, including logic circuits. In this brief, a memristor-only logic family, i.e., memristor-aided logic (MAGIC), is presented. In each MAGIC logic gate, memristors serve as an input with previously stored data, and an additional memristor serves as an output. The topology of a MAGIC nor gate is similar to the structure of a common memristor-based crossbar memory array. A MAGIC nor gate can therefore be placed within memory, providing opportunities for novel non-von Neumann computer…
