Memristor-MOS analog correlator for pattern recognition system.

Emergence of new materials having significant improved properties continues to influence the formulation of novel architectures and as such new developments pave the way for innovative circuits and systems such as those required in visual imaging and recognition systems. In this paper we introduce a novel approach for the design of an analog comparator suitable for pattern matching using two Memristors as part of both the stored image data as well as that of the input signal. Our proposed comparator based on Memristor-CMOS fabrication process generates a signal indicating similarity/dissimilarity between two pattern data derived from image sensor and the corresponding Memristor-based template memory. For convenience, we also present an overview of a simplified Memristor model and hence provide simulation results for comparison with that of a conventional analog CMOS comparator.
