Novel Meminductor Emulators Using Operational Amplifiers and their Applications in Chaotic Oscillators

Abstract

This paper presents six different meminductor emulator circuits based on operational amplifiers. Five circuits of meminductor emulators have been proposed using two operational amplifiers, one memristor, three resistors and one capacitor, whereas the sixth circuit uses two operational amplifiers, two memristors, one resistor and two capacitors. All circuits of the proposed meminductor emulators are very simple over most of the realizations of meminductor emulators in the literature. The behaviors of meminductor emulators are satisfactory over a wide range of frequencies. The proposed configurations of meminductor emulators have been simulated by the LTspice tool. The SPICE models of both operational amplifier (AD711) and memristor have been used for simulation. The workability of the proposed meminductor emulators has also been verified using the basic and well-known structure of operational amplifier. In addition, the pinched hysteresis loop obtained by the simulation results of meminductor emulator has been achieved by the experimental results as well. Chaotic oscillator has been designed using the proposed meminductor emulator to prove the worthiness of the design.
