This work presents compact floating and grounded configurations of the memtranstor (MT), a recently introduced memory element defined by the direct relationship between charge (q) and magnetic flux (φ). The proposed emulators are multiplier-free because the required gain-modulation is obtained directly through the device’s bias-controlled transconductance, eliminating any external or internally cascaded analog-multiplier block enabling a simplified and power-efficient architecture. It employs one multiple-output current differencing transconductance amplifier (MO-CDTA), one multiple-output voltage differential transconductance amplifier (MO-VDTA), and one voltage differential current conveyor (VDCC) as active devices, together with three grounded capacitors and one grounded electronic resistor. The emulators reproduce the fundamental q–φ relationship and exhibits origin-crossing pinched hysteresis loops under sinusoidal excitation, a defining feature of memtranstive systems. Operating at ± 0.9 V, the design supports electronic tunability via transconductance adjustment of the active blocks and electronic resistor. Validation using mathematical modeling that incorporates non-ideal effects, together with Cadence Virtuoso simulations in a 180-nm CMOS process, includes memory characterization, Monte Carlo analysis, temperature sensitivity, and evaluation of hysteresis behavior under varying control voltages, excitation frequencies, and transconductance values. A full-custom layouts occupies 4256 μm² (floating type) and 3129 μm² (grounded type). Distinguished by compactness, low component count, and ease of integration, the proposed designs offer a robust platform for MT-based applications. They potentials are demonstrated through a memtranstor-based chaotic oscillator, verified via simulations, highlighting applicability to neuromorphic computing, chaos-based systems, and nonlinear dynamics. To validate the feasibility of the proposed solution, post-layout measurements and experimental tests are performed using commercially available components.
