Reconfigurable architectures (FPGA) with embedded memory elements face problems in retaining data for longer duration due to leakage current as it becomes dominant in nanometer devices in conventional technologies. Also, LUT-based designs consume more area, are slow in processing data and dissipate more power because of complex interconnection network. Memristor, a new nonvolatile memory element, can be used to overcome these limitations. In this paper, we propose an implication-NOR logic-gate-based FPGA architecture using memristors for implementation of logic functions and with embedded memory for storing data. The automation algorithm for the same is presented.
