Chua theoretically introduced a new circuit element, which exhibited a different behavior from that displayed by any of the three known passive elements: the resistor, the capacitor or the inductor. This element was called memristor, since its behavior corresponded to a resistor with memory. Four decades later, the concept of mem-elements was extended to the other two circuit elements by the definition of the constitutive equations of both memcapacitors and meminductors. Since then, the non-linear and non-volatile properties of these devices have attracted the interest of many researches trying to develop a wide range of applications. However, the lack of solid-state implementations of memcapacitors and meminductors make it necessary to rely on circuit emulators for the use and investigation of these elements in practical implementations. On this basis, this review gathers the current main alternatives presented in the literature for the emulation of both memcapacitors and meminductors. Different circuit emulators have been thoroughly analyzed and compared in detail, providing a wide range of approaches that could be considered for the implementation of these devices in future designs.}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) JP18k04275}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport (MECD) TEC2017-89955-P FPU16/01451 FPU16/04043}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Emulator}, keywords = {Gyrator}, keywords = {Memcapacitator}, keywords = {Meminductor}, keywords = {Memristor}, title = {Memcapacitor and Meminductor Circuit Emulators: A Review}, doi = {10.3390/electronics10111225}, author = {Romero Maldonado, Francisco Javier and Ohata, Akiko and Toral López, Alejandro and Godoy Medina, Andrés and Morales Santos, Diego Pedro and Rodríguez Santiago, Noel}, }
