    Abstract

    This paper presents a concept of a solid-state memcapacitor based on a combination of memristor and capacitor, as well as its applications to cellular nanoscale networks. In addition to ultra-dense memories, memcapacitors can also be used for synaptic connections and threshold control in arrays with capacitively coupled processing units. In principle, the proposed CNN cell structure implements the basic McCulloch-Pitts neuron model. Although the cell relies on the binary programmability scheme with single-bit template coefficients, the proposed memcapacitive synapses allow for asynchronous processing of tasks, for which the traditional cloning templates contain both positive and negative values
