    Abstract

    In this paper, the design of an isolated Memristor Cellular Nonlinear Network (CNN) cell with discrete electronic elements is presented. The proposed versatile circuit allows for adjustable cell dynamical characteristics while the discrete element approach enables simple onboard implementation, which is necessary for testing with fabricated memristors. A voltage-mode approach, making use of operational amplifiers, is preferred here over a current-mode one that necessitates a large number of individual transistors. The dynamical properties of the system are illustrated by applying the concept of State Dynamic Routes for the cell assuming that the memristor dynamics are much slower than the capacitor voltage dynamics. Moreover, the effect of design parameters on the cell dynamics is being investigated, showing how the scaling of the operating voltage, as well as a plethora of CNN variants, can be implemented within the same design. Finally, the nonlinear conductance properties of real memristor devices are incorporated into the study, demonstrating interesting bifurcation phenomena between the cell monostability and bistability for specific parameter values.
