Modeling Memristor with SPICE

In 1971, Professor Chua proposed [1] that by necessity of symmetry reasons, besides the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor; a fourth circuit element has to exist. In 2008, members of an HP Lab published [2] that they successfully realized a nano-scale electronic component. Spice macromodel [3-6] could be a powerful tool for electrical engineers to design and experiment new circuits with memristors.
