Exploring the nonlinear dynamics of the memristors is essential to be adequately used in the applications. Realizing memristor on FPGAs as an intellectual property (IP) core offers a flexible platform to realize different models. In the literature, few implementations have been proposed for simple and limited memristor model. In this brief, two discrete and continuous versatile memristor models alongside their FPGA realizations are proposed. These models can generate different pinched hysteric behaviors, such as symmetric, asymmetric pinched hysteresis, and multi-state switching behavior. In

This paper proposes a charge pump based on a charge controlled memcapacitor. The operation of the charge pump is investigated along with the mathematical analysis of the memcapacitor. Different implementations of charge pump are summarized. The proposed charge pump has the capability of driving low input voltage in range of 200mv and the capability of operating at the low frequencies which makes it suitable for biomedical applications. © 2017 IEEE.

Memristor has become an interesting research subject in the recent years. Its special behavior has attracted the attention of the research community that motivated researchers to investigate it in details. As memristor is a relatively new electrical element, it is not yet available in the market as a solid state component Researchers found their way to build memristor emulators to achieve its pinched hysteresis. While many papers proposed floating emulators, only a few papers presented a grounded one. In this paper, an incremental grounded memristor emulator is proposed. The mathematical model

Ternary number, which attracts the research attention for its high capacity, has emerged in many applications, recently. Unlike binary numbers, two bit ternary number involves 93 = 729 different functions while two bit binary number involves only 42 = 16 different possible functions. In this paper, a novel automatic software description two bits ternary functions design tool is presented. Different examples are provided and synthesized to ternary logic circuits. Finally, the presented logic circuits are verified by SPICE simulation using carbon nano-Tube (CNTFET) transistors. © 2019 IEEE.

This paper introduces a method for extracting the Cole-impedance model parameters using a meta-heuristic optimization technique. The method is based on a single proposed resistor controlled oscillator (SRCO) where the unknown bio-impedance is embedded. At two different oscillation frequencies, the start-up oscillation condition is recorded. Then the corresponding nonlinear equations are solved using the flower pollination optimization (FPA) technique to find the optimum impedance parameters that minimize an objective error function. Experimental results are provided, and comparisons with model

In this paper, we proposed a new technique for designing a dynamic S-box depended on the idea of DNA module and Chaotic system to increase its security. Lorenz chaotic generator is utilized as the chaos part of the proposed design.

The security of the system is also validated through tests on Matlab. © 2019 IEEE.

For the specifications of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), eHealth systems, and wearable devices, batteries are not desirable. They maximize the sensor nodes’ size and need to be replaced every few years through human interference. Energy harvesting is now being studied as the primary source of electricity for wearable devices. Several initiatives have succeeded in using energy harvesting to operate the wearable devices’ electronic components. However, to rely primarily on energy harvesting in wearable devices, some obstacles need to be addressed. This work surveys the development of

Fractional-order chaotic systems (FOCS) parameter identification is an essential issue in chaos control and synchronization process.

This paper presents a study for general fractional order oscillator based on two port network where two topologies of oscillator structure with two impedances are discussed. The two impedances are chosen to be fractional elements which give four combinations for each topology. The general oscillation frequency, condition and the phase difference between the two oscillatory outputs are deduced in terms of the transmission matrix parameter of a general two port network. As a case study: two different networks are presented which are op-amp based circuit and non-ideal gyrator circuit. The

This paper introduces the design procedure of the fractional-order Soliman Nonminimum-phase filter. Theoretical analysis has been carried out providing the critical frequencies of the filter. The effect of fractional-order parameter \alpha on the filter response has been investigated. Additionally, two different approximation techniques (Oustaloup and Matsuda) have been employed to realize the filter. A comparison is held between the exact and approximated solutions. Theoretical analysis is verified through circuit simulations and experimental work. © 2019 IEEE.
