Abstract

Memristor crossbar arrays offer a novel new approach for designing high density non-volatile memory; however, precise measurement of resistive crossbar elements requires parallel current sensing capability not found in existing instruments. To provide this capability, we have designed and built an FPGA-based crossbar control instrument with independent per-channel biasing and measuring. In this paper, we cover the architecture of this new instrument, its operation and interface, and the results of testing conducted on the instruments pulse driver circuitry.
