Analog and digital circuits are used to make memristor emulators. Power electronics circuits use switching to obtain the desired waveforms. A single-phase power factor corrector circuit is a well-known power electronics circuit. This study shows that a single-phase power factor corrector circuit can be used as a memristor emulator. To the best of our knowledge, there is no memristor emulator circuit made in this way in literature yet. This circuit employs a boost converter placed after the full-wave bridge rectifier. The power switch of the converter is controlled to obtain the desired memristive behavior by a microcontroller, STM32F429ZIT6. The circuit operation is examined using simulations and experiments. Also, a comparison is given between the proposed emulator and the other memristor emulators in the literature. Although the proposed emulator is able to emulate different memristor models described with varying window functions, only the results of the Biolek model are given due to space considerations. The circuit performs well and can easily emulate other memristor models after modification of its firmware for their window functions.

模拟和数字电路用于制作忆阻器仿真器。电力电子电路使用开关来获得所需的波形。单相功率因数校正电路是众所周知的电力电子电路。这项研究表明单相功率因数校正器电路可以用作忆阻器仿真器。据我们所知，文献中还没有以这种方式制作的忆阻器仿真器电路。该电路采用放置在全波桥式整流器之后的升压转换器。转换器的电源开关由微控制器 STM32F429ZIT6 控制以获得所需的忆阻行为。通过模拟和实验来检查电路操作。此外，还对所提出的仿真器与文献中的其他忆阻器仿真器进行了比较。尽管所提出的仿真器能够仿真用不同的窗函数描述的不同忆阻器模型，但由于空间考虑，仅给出了 Biolek 模型的结果。该电路性能良好，并且在修改其窗口功能的固件后可以轻松模拟其他忆阻器模型。
