An interesting question came up on the LTspice List this morning
concerning Spice modeling a ReRAM, a resistive element something like
a Memristor, but "different" ;-)

The OP seemed over his head and couldn't quite vocalize how the ReRAM
device behaves.

I tried surfing and ran into the hurdles that any real information is
locked behind the IEEE fiasco.

All other links seemed more like Popular Science reviews than facts.

Anyone know the V-I behavior of these device?

Thanks!

speaking of, can anybody clearly explain a memristor in about 3 sentences
or less?

1: It's really cool.

3: It's revolutionary.

There -- isn't that easy?

OK, you're going to get all anal retentive and tell me that you didn't
want the manager's overview. Fine. Here's my understanding of a
memristor:

It is a device that acts like a resistor whose resistance is proportional
to the integral of all of the current that has ever flowed through the it.

Oops. That's only one sentence. Sorry.

If you can't get them, does it matter? I'll wait for the spec sheet.

What I want to know on the theory level, is how it is a "fourth" element
of basic electronics that was predicted by theory? I've heard that
claim, but it was never explained in any detail at all.

and anything that burns out when you run current through it.

You have very little imagination. It makes a very nice non volatile
memory, to name but one use.

Yep. But the stated behavior is quite vague, and my surfing today
indicates that planned roll-out in 2013 has been delayed to at least
"mid-decade" whatever that means.

Sounds like a wet dream that turned out to be **** running down your
leg... sort of like Chris Matthews' "thrill" :-}

of basic electronics that was predicted by theory? I've heard that

It's an 'element' because it cannot be constructed from the other
'elements'.

I don't care about the label "element". I care about the idea that it
fills a gap in the general electronics theory as a "fourth element".
I've never found exactly what that is supposed to mean.

speaking of, can anybody clearly explain a memristor in about 3 sentences
or less?

If you can't get them, does it matter? I'll wait for the spec sheet.

What I want to know on the theory level, is how it is a "fourth" element
of basic electronics that was predicted by theory? I've heard that
claim, but it was never explained in any detail at all.

Google memristor Leon Chua

doing that or reading any other story about them just makes them think I'm
listening to some beggar with a sob story about how they need money to get
a train ticket. None of it stacks up or makes any sense.


Chua's latest definition of memristor would include fuses, antifuses,
and anything that burns out when you run current through it.

anybody interested in my room temperature superconducting cold fusion
memristor technology?

Only if it includes a global warming component, and some stem cells.

It has that too, it uses fuzzy logic.

I tried surfing and ran into the hurdles that any real information is

All other links seemed more like Popular Science reviews than facts.

Anyone know the V-I behavior of these device?

Thanks!

Lots of worthless PhD stuff out there. Weaned to engineering level, I
found people addressing modeling...

exciting stuff there, can't wait to see the meminductor and memcapacitor.

I call shots on the memsuperconductor.

The 'elements' fit in the formed quadrants. Going clockwise you
have in the lower left an inductor. Upper left is the resistor and
upper right is the capacitor. The lower right is either 'missing'
or a 'memsistor'.

Its a "flux capacitor"!

It might also be modeled by a battery or a motor. Instead of *dissipating*
power as voltage and current (resistor), it *stores* power in the form of
flux and charge, either by chemical reaction or by rotational inertia.

Not necessarily. The antidiagonal entries on the plot of four quantities
store energy, while the upper-left, at least, dissipates power. Perhaps
the entire main diagonal dissipates.

- Resistance is the ratio of voltage to current; the product is power
(real dissipation, nonconservative).
- Capacitance is the ratio of charge to voltage; the product is energy
(stored, conservative).
- Inductance is the ratio of flux to current; the product is energy
(stored, conservative).
- Memristance is the ratio of charge to flux (or the inverse, whichever);
the product is technically energy * time, or momentum * length. Doesn't
really make sense.

The units for a memristor is said to be Ohms. It dissipates just like
a resistor. This has been used to argue it's not a new fundamental
device since, it is claimed, a new fundamental device would require a
new unit of measure. I'm not saying that's 'true', just that it's an
argument made. Note, however, that they're both a ratio of (in
generalized terms) 'quantity vs potential' with the difference being
one is the differential of the other. e.g. dq-idt. It might be better
to call the memristor unit Rt, or OhmT, to accommodate the 'memory'
function.

Or, put another way, it strikes me that saying 'ohms' for a memristor
is akin to noting the volt and current of an inductor or capacitor at
a specific moment in time. It's valid for that moment but is different
at others and the same goes for the memristor's 'Ohms'. It changes
over time, depending on flux and charge, so Ohms is an insufficient
measure of it's overall, time variant, characteristic.

A battery is not a passive device and a motor is not fundamental as it
can be modeled by fundamental devices.

Someone mentioned the diagonal. Yes, the inductor-capacitor diagonal
are energy storage elements. The resistor-memristor diagonal are
dissipative elements.

From considerable searching I conclude that the ReRAM is something
your door-to-door sweeper salesman might be hawking. Lots of claims.
Little do. Those who _were_ going to do non-volatile RAM with it are
"delaying" entry into the market for several years.

Even ran across a thesis and several papers where the "demonstrated"
Spice model had dangling nodes ;-)
