A Novel Memcapacitor Model and Its Application for Generating Chaos

الملخص EN

Memristor and memcapacitor are new nonlinear devices with memory.

We present a novel memcapacitor model that has the capability of capturing the behavior of a memcapacitor.

Based on this model we also design a chaotic oscillator circuit that contains a HP memristor and the memcapacitor model for generating good pseudorandom sequences.

Its dynamic behaviors, including equilibrium points, stability, and bifurcation characteristics, are analyzed in detail.

It is found that the proposed oscillator can exhibit some complex phenomena, such as chaos, hyperchaos, coexisting attractors, abrupt chaos, and some novel bifurcations.

Moreover, a scheme for digitally realizing this oscillator is provided by using the digital signal processor (DSP) technology.

Then the random characteristics of the chaotic binary sequences generated from the oscillator are tested via the test suit of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The tested randomness definitely reaches the standards of NIST and is better than that of the well-known Lorenz system.
