Sumario:Oscillatory neural networks with nano-oscillators and synapse devices are a promising alternative to implement neuromorphic systems owing to its fast recognition speed and low power consumption. In this paper, we demonstrate a compact frequency storable oscillator using nanoscale two-terminal NbO<sub>2</sub> insulator-metal-transition devices along with TaO<sub>x</sub>-based resistive switching memory (RRAM) devices. By controlling RRAM resistance, we realized a wide range of analog oscillation frequencies. The synchronization window of two coupled oscillators, which is a key parameter for determining pattern recognition, increases with the increasing coupling capacitance and decreasing RRAM resistance of the reference oscillator. The simple device structure (metal-NbO<sub>2</sub>-metal-TaO<sub>x</sub>-metal), small device area (4F<sup>2</sup>), and frequency storability of NbO<sub>2</sub>-based coupled oscillator device show a strong potential for future integrated neuromorphic device application.
