A chaotic circuit based on Hewlett-Packard memristor

Abstract

Memristors are gaining increasing attention as next generation electronic devices. They are also becoming commonly used as fundamental blocks for building chaotic circuits, although often arbitrary (typically piece-wise linear or cubic) flux-charge characteristics are assumed. In this paper, a chaotic circuit based on the mathematical realistic model of the HP memristor is introduced. The circuit makes use of two HP memristors in antiparallel. Numerical results showing some of the chaotic attractors generated by this circuit and the behavior with respect to changes in its component values are described.
