A unified asymmetric memristive diode-bridge emulator and hardware confirmation

This paper reports a unified asymmetric memristive diode-bridge (UAMD) emulator with the current constraints for each pair of parallel bridge arms, which is implemented by an asymmetric diode-bridge cascaded with a parallel resistor and capacitor (RC) filter. The mathematical model is established and its pinched property is confirmed by multisim circuit analysis, MATLAB numerical simulation and hardware experiment. Besides, the UAMD emulator is expanded to the general cases and four diodes on symmetric bridge arms owning two situations are taken as two expanding examples.

Automated summary

This paper introduces a unified asymmetric memristive diode-bridge (UAMD) emulator with current constraints, implemented by an asymmetric diode-bridge cascaded with a parallel resistor and capacitor (RC) filter. The mathematical model and pinched property are confirmed through various experiments, and the emulator is extended to general cases and different symmetric bridge arm situations.
