Abstract:
Memristor-based multipliers using memristors-as-drivers (MAD) gates. As a result of employing MAD gates in memristor-based multipliers, such as shift-and-add multipliers, Booth multipliers and array multipliers, the number of delay steps may be less than half than the number of delay steps required in traditional CMOS implementations of multipliers. Furthermore, by using MAD gates, memristor-based multipliers can be implemented with less complexity (e.g., fewer memristors and drivers). As a result, by the memristor-based multipliers using MAD gates, the speed and complexity of a wide variety of arithmetic operations is improved.

Claim (Index 1):
A shift-and-add multiplier, comprising:\n a first memristor, wherein said first memristor is connected to a first switch; a second memristor connected in parallel to said first memristor, wherein said second memristor is connected to a second switch and a third switch, wherein said second and third switches are connected in series; a third memristor connected in parallel to said second memristor, wherein said third memristor is connected to a fourth switch, wherein a fifth switch is connected to said second and third memristors; a fourth memristor connected in parallel to said third memristor, wherein said fourth memristor is connected to a sixth switch, a seventh switch and eighth switch; and a fifth memristor connected in parallel to said fourth memristor, wherein said fifth memristor is connected to a ninth switch, a tenth switch, an eleventh switch, a twelfth switch, a thirteenth switch and a fourteenth switch.
