Accurate Transient Voltage Protection Circuit Design and Simulation for Analog Circuits With Memristors

Abstract

In recent years, memristors have attracted significant attention because of their increasing potential in many applications. Their use as analog interface protection circuit elements against transient voltage fluctuations in analog integrated circuits has been shown to offer higher sensitivity compared to conventional protection components, hence believed to protect other circuit components on the interface. In this study, the proposed implementation of a memristor-based protection scheme is explained in detail through the design of the circuit and the results of simulation studies. In addition to that, Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes are incorporated as the primary protection elements on the first stage of protection as they served in the conventional protection.

ANALOG DEVRELERDE MEMRİSTÖR KULLANARAK GERİLİM DALGALANMALARINA KARŞI HASSAS KORUMA DEVRESİ TASARIMI VE BENZETİMİ

Abstract

Son yıllarda memristörler farklı uygulamalarda kullanım potansiyelleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalarla oldukça dikkat çekmiştir. Analog arayüzleri ani gerilim dalgalanmalarına karşı koruma amacıyla kullanılması, geleneksel koruma elemanlarına kıyasla daha yüksek duyarlılık sunmakta ve devre elemanlarının zarar görmesini engelleyeceği öngörülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, memristör tabanlı koruma devresi tasarımı sunulmuştur. Koşulan benzetim sonuçları doğrultusunda, kullanım yöntemi ayrıntılı şekilde anlatılmıştır. Ayrıca, koruma işlevinin ilk aşamasında geleneksel çözüm olan Geçici Gerilim Baskılama (TVS - Transient Voltage Suppression) diyotlarının kullanımı öngörülmektedir.
