A simple memristor emulator

Memristor is drawing more and more attraction since HP Laboratory has announced its invention. This letter reports our efforts on memristor application researches, which makes the further memristor exploring easier. In this letter, we proposed a new memristor emulator using several simple discrete components. The emulator can meet most of the behavior characteristics of a generic memristor. Based on the emulator, a chaotic attractor has been observed in a simplest chaotic circuit that uses only three elements. Both the emulator and the chaotic circuit's behaviors are demonstrated using SPICE and MATLAB simulation.
