Optimising lab-on-a-chip applications
Lab-on a chip applications often need to be able to measure the smallest currents on CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) chips. A German university offers a new measurement circuit, an offset and 1/f noise compensated current-to-digital conversion that can be integrated directly on the chip. Thus a current measurement can be realized cost-efficiently over a very large measurement range (fA - µA). License agreements are offered.
