  • Abstract:
  • A floating fully passive memcapacitor emulator, characterized by two MOSFETs and two capacitors, has been introduced. This proposed memcapacitor emulator circuit underwent simulation using GPDK 90nm CMOS technology in conjunction with Cadence Virtuoso Spectre software. The analysis encompassed transient behavior, hysteresis characteristics, and its nonvolatile properties. Notably, the circuit demonstrated an impressive operating frequency of up to 500MHz. Key advantages of this proposed memcapacitor emulator comprise its compact design, minimal power consumption, ability to operate at high frequencies in the MHz range, and dynamic threshold features. Finally, the study extends its applicability to prospective analog applications, notably in applications like High pass and Low Pass Filter, utilizing the proposed memcapacitor emulator.
