MEMRISTOR FOR STORAGE Nonvolatile Energy required during switching Memristor as switches in crossbar architecture
CROSSBAR ARCHITECTURE Connected mesh of perpendicular wires Crossing wires connected by switch Switch closed applying positive voltage Switch opened by reversed voltage
CROSSBAR ARCHITECTURE Courtesy by memristor.org/memory-resistor/education
MEMORY MANAGEMENT Read operation Write operation Addressing
READ OPERATION Voltage below threshold voltage applied If ON conducts If OFF doesn't conduct Courtesy :acm.org/memristor.html
WRITE OPERATION A voltage above threshold voltage applied Stage inverted by opposite polarity Voltage for duration tw applied Courtesy :acm.org/memristor.html
ADDRESSING Lines arranged in columns and rows Cell addressed by row and column Courtesy :www.memristor.org/memory-resistor/education
ADVANTAGES Eliminates delay Speed inversely proportional to size Large density 1terabit/cm2 Analog data storage possible
DISADVANTAGES Dissipates heat No design standards Needs defect engineering
APPLICATION Faster SSD’s Brain like system Smaller hardware devices Replace DRAM
CONCLUSION Latest technology High speed memory devices Low power requirements
