The charge pump can output a step-up and a step-down voltage simultaneously with a high driving capability. The multiple gain pair technique was introduced to enhance its efficiency. The proposed co-use technology for capacitors and switch arrays reduced its cost. The charge pump was designed and fabricated in a TSMC 0.35μm mixed-signal CMOS process. A group of analytical equations were derived to model its static characteristics. A state-space model was derived to describe its small-signal dynamic behavior. Analytical predictions were verified by Spectre simulation and testing. The consistency of simulated results as well as test results with analytical predictions demonstrated the high precision of the derived analytical equations and the developed models.展开更多

This proposed BPE array device consists of 15 units, each consisting of six sensing cells and two reporting cells patterned using hydrophobic wax. A hairpin structure DNA assembled on the cathodes of BPEs hybridizes with Pt nanoparticles (NPs) labeled probe DNA in the presence of complementary target DNA. The introduction of Pt NPs catalyzes the reduction of dissolved 02 at cathodes and induces an enhanced ECL signal from Ru(bpy)32+/tripropylamine (TPrA) at the anodes of BPEs. The dissolved 02 lost in reduction reaction could be promptly replenished due to the relatively large contact area of the paper-based cells with air, which ensures the stability of ECL signal. This obtained paper-based BPE array sensor showed excellent performances for the multiplexed analysis of the syphilis (Treponema pallidum) gene, the immunodeficiency virus gene (HIV) and hepatitis B virus gene (HBV).展开更多
