Poor Man’s Memristor: Chua Corsage Memristor

Chua Corsage Memristor (CCM) can accurately emulate the neuromorphic behaviors of biological neurons. Recently, we built a working CCM circuit board using only <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">inexpensive</i> and <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">off-the-shelf</i> electronic components. When this poor-man's memristor is connected to a <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">linear passive L</i> and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${C}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> circuit, the resulting circuit can generate <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">action potentials</i> and <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">chaos</i> . This brief presents the complete theory for deriving the electronic circuit realization of the poor-man's memristor, and also displays more additional neuromorphic waveforms, measured experimentally from the poor-man's memristor, further verifying the neuromorphic dynamics of the CCM.
