ABSTRACT
Memristor as a fourth fundamental circuit element was first postulated by Prof. Leon Chua in 1971.The
physical implementation of this device was developed by HP team in 2008.Thereafter memristor as a
fundamental circuit element has shown tremendous potential for development of analog and digital
circuit. To design circuits with memristors, it is essential to understand the memristor behavior with a
simulator.SPICE is a general purpose simulator which is used in the analysis of integrated circuits. This
paper will discuss memristor behavior with LTspice simulator which is a popular version of SPICE and
implement Memristor model for the analysis of MC(Memristor Capacitor) circuits.

I. INTRODUCTION
Memristor was postulated by Prof. Leon Chua in 1971 as the fourth missing circuit element in the list of
three fundamental electric circuit elements such as Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor[1]. For its future
reliable applications, modeling of the device is an essential part. Memristor being a non-linear device, its
modeling can be handled by simulator like SPICE(Simulation Program with Integrated-Circuit
Emphasis) efficiently. SPICE is a general – purpose circuit simulator capable of performing nonlinear
circuit analysis. The purpose of this paper is to discuss LTspice based memristor model and analyzed
MC circuits on the basis of the mathematical definitions and model demonstrated by HP labs [1][2].
Section II, of this paper will discuss fundamental definitions of Memristor. HP Memristor model is
discussed in Section III. Memristor model with nonlinear dopant drift is discussed in section IV.
LTspice based nonlinear dopant drift model of memristor and Simulation results based on LTspice for
MC circuits are explained in section V.
II. MEMRISTOR FUNDAMENTS
Memristor was first postulated by Prof. Leon Chua in 1971 [1] as the fourth fundamental Passive circuit element. Based on the symmetry of the equations that governs the resistor, capacitor and inductor. Prof Leon Chua hypothesized that fourth device should exist that holds a functional relationship between magnetic flux linkage and electric charge. This would complete the square where the resistor holds the relation between current and voltage, the
