Abstract
Memristor is a new device that is widely used in recently proposed architectures to improve on-chip area and power consumption. This paper proposes novel CMOS-memristive Voltage Mode Sense Amplifier (VMSA) designed with TSMC 180nm CMOS technology. In the proposed circuit, several CMOS transistors of the conventional CMOS sense amplifier design are replaced with memristive elements. The preliminary design is simulated in SPICE. The proposed amplifier ensures the reduction of on-chip area of the amplifier.
