First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nonlinearity compensation circuit for a memristive device, comprising: at least one power source unit to apply an input pulse; a modulation unit connected to the at least one power source unit to modulate a pulse width of an update pulse applied to the memristive device through the input pulse; and the memristive device to which the modulated update pulse is applied, wherein the modulation unit includes a plurality of first transistors, a plurality of second transistors and a first capacitor. 2. The nonlinearity compensation circuit for a memristive device according to claim 1 , wherein when a conductance of the memristive device includes convex nonlinearity characteristics, the modulation unit modulates the pulse width in inverse proportion to the conductance based on a threshold voltage of the first capacitor. 3. The nonlinearity compensation circuit for a memristive device according to claim 2 , wherein the first capacitor is charged by a current generated in proportion to the conductance using the plurality of first transistors. 4. The nonlinearity compensation circuit for a memristive device according to claim 1 , wherein when a conductance of the memristive device includes concave nonlinearity characteristics, the modulation unit modulates the pulse width in proportion to the conductance based on a threshold voltage of the first capacitor. 5. The nonlinearity compensation circuit for a memristive device according to claim 4 , wherein the first capacitor is charged by a current generated in inverse proportion to the conductance using the plurality of first transistors. 6. The nonlinearity compensation circuit for a memristive device according to claim 1 , wherein the modulation unit turns off the update pulse based on the plurality of second transistors.
