Abstract :

Many researchers have done a lot on memcapacitor emulator circuits. It is due to the point that memcapacitor as a two-terminal element has not existed yet. These circuits must be developed their use in other applications and scientific fields, consequently many emulators have been designed. The configuration of the proposed memcapacitor structure in this paper is very memorable due to the possibility of fabrication of a completely integrated proposed circuit. In this paper initially, the physical model implementation of memcapacitor has been simulated by Advance Design System (ADS) software, and then a new structure of memcapacitor emulator operating up to 256 Hz with available electronic devices is proposed. Experimental and practical results show the behaviour of memcapacitor as a memory device.
