    Abstract

    We present a recursive threshold logic unit that uses the output feedback from standard threshold logic gates to emulate Boolean expressions in a time-sequenced manner. The Boolean expression is implemented with an analog resistive divider in memristive crossbars and a hard-threshold function designed with CMOS comparator for realizing the sums (OR) and products (AND) operators. The method benefits from reliable programming of the memristors in 1T1R crossbar configuration to suppress sneak path currents and thus enable larger crossbar sizes, which in turn allow a higher number of Boolean inputs. The reference threshold voltage for the decision comparators is tuned to implement AND and OR logic. The threshold value range is limited by the number of inputs to the crossbar. At the same time, the resistance of the memristors is kept constant at RON . The circuit's tolerance to the memristor variability and aging are analyzed, showing sufficient resilience. Also, the proposed recursive logic uses fewer cross-points, and has lower power dissipation than other memristive logic and CMOS implementation.
