In this context, we present a classification of ReRAM-compatible logic design strategies and highlight the potential of nonstateful ratioed logic for computational ReRAM modules. We provide insights towards the design of ad-hoc peripheral circuitry that allows the fusion of memory and ratioed logic operations in the ReRAM module in a reliable manner; i.e., the driving/sensing circuitry allows carrying out memory operations and in-memory multi- level ratioed logic operations. To this end, we present in detail a computational ReRAM driver and focus our description on the operational features that enable memory/logic operations in every row of the crossbar array. We validate circuit functionality through LTSpice simulations for read/write memory and logic operations using a threshold-type bipolar ReRAM device model. The presented practical solutions contribute to the viable development of computational ReRAM.Supported by Synopsys, Chile, by the Chilean grants FONDECYT Regular 1221747 and ANID-Basal FB0008, by the UTFSM Initiation in Scientific Investigation Program (PIIC) grant 016/2021, and by the Spanish MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 grant PID2019-103869RB-C33.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
