Özet

Implementing neuron circuit using memristor can be more effective thanks to some properties of memristor such as nonlinearity. For this reason, many memristor-based neuron circuits have been found in the literature. This study presents a memristor-based floating neuron circuit that exhibits different types of spikes. In the proposed circuit, two classical memristors and one special memristor are utilized. The special memristor is designed to exhibit various pinched hysteresis loops and plays an important role in producing different spike types. The proposed special memristor can also be controlled using only one voltage source. Using memristors, we implemented a neuron circuit which can produce regular spike, bursting spike and fast spike. Also, neuron circuit has a floating structure, and so there is no restriction on using it with other circuit elements. All simulations are implemented in the SPICE simulation program with TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS process parameters.
