Mini PCB Input Sensor and Display Circuits Mini PCB Input Sensor and Display Circuits A Major Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By _______________________ Ian Schwartz _______________________ Lena Dagher _______________________ Chris Thomson _______________________ Renee Walker Submitted to: _______________________ Dr. John McNeill, Advisor Abstract The objective of this MQP was to use analog and other design techniques to build a circuit using one of Analog Device’s new Integrated Circuits. After much thought, research, and collaboration, the project chosen was the “Mini PCB Input Sensor and Display Circuits”. This project has two parts: the first being a small, inexpensive, and portable circuit designed to be distributed to high school seniors who attend WPI’s ECE undergraduate recruitment open houses. The second phase is a more complex version of the portable circuit, and would allow the user to connect to a PC via USB and display the output of the various sensors on a computer monitor. This paper guides the reader through the design process as seen through the eyes of the designers, detailing the unique processes considered to reach the final outcome. 1 Authorship The completion of this Major Qualifying Project involved a significant amount of time and dedication. This report represents a collaboration of ideas from all team members involved. Each aspect of the project was divided amongst the team members. Lena Dagher was responsible for the research and design of the temperature circuit. Christopher Thomson concentrated on the research and design of the IR pulse circuit. Ian Schwartz focused on the design of the electrocardiogram (ECG) circuit. Renee Walker contributed greatly to the design and implementation of the digital interface. The separation of these tasks allowed us to specialize our work to increase productivity. However, the success of this project was dependant on the collaboration of each team member in order to tie all the circuits together and design of the Mini Input Sensor Board. 2 Table of Contents

F ^bZ/eA F-J&OJ7 GrgMo6/g Ce^x, France *THDarmstadt, Institute of Microelectronic Systems, D-64283 Darmstadt, Germany Abstract Besides foundry facilities, CAD-tools are also required to move microsystems from research prototypes to an industrial market. CAD tools of microelectronics have been developed for more than 20 years, both in the field of circuit design tools and in the area of TCAD tools. Usually a microelectronics engineer is involved only in one side of the design: either he deals with application design or he is par- ticipating in the manufacturing design, but not in both. This is one point that is to be followed in case of microsystem design, if higher level of design productivity is expected. Another point is that certain standards should also be established in case of microsystem design too: based on selected technologies a set of stan- dard components should be pre-designed and collected in a standard component library. This component library should be available from within microsystem de- sign frameworks which might be well established by a proper configuration and extension of existing 1C design frameworks. A very important point is the devel- opment of proper simulation models of microsystem components that are based on e.g.

However, as the transistor feature size is further shrunk to sub-14nm nanometer regime, modern integrated circuit (IC) designs are challenged by exacerbated manufacturability and reliability issues. To overcome these grand challenges, full-chip modeling and physical design tools are imperative to achieve high manufacturability and reliability. In this paper, we will discuss some key process technology and VLSI design co-optimization issues in nanometer VLSI.

  • (DFM) Tips for Miniature Biomedical Sensor Circuits
    TECHNICAL BRIEF VOLUME 4 - DFM Tips for Miniature Biomedical Sensor Circuits Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) Tips for Miniature Biomedical Sensor Circuits Introduction Advanced foundry processes have enabled a new age of sensor circuit engineering, and designers in many fields from RF communications, embedded vision systems, and medical devices, are actively exploring new ways to employ them. One such foundry process, micron-level thin film technology, is becoming especially intriguing to designers of biomedical sensors. Thin-film circuits can be applied to flexible polyimide substrates making them capable of being bent and shaped considerably without impact on circuit performance or reliability. As such, the combination of flexible material and thin-film circuit geometries is leading medical designers to consider how far they can go in an attempt to enhance their sensors for ad- vanced procedures, and improved patient care. TECHNICAL BRIEF DESIGN-FOR-MANUFACTURABILITY (DFM) TIPS FOR MINIATURE BIOMEDICAL SENSOR CIRCUITS For medical designers pivoting from one scale to another, however, there is often an immediate challenge of resolving their engineering ideas using dramatically less real estate. Many come from companies whose devices have been traditionally limited by the line and spacing constraints of single layer thick-film or tradi- tional flex circuit design on Kapton (which typically stops at around 2 mils). Considering that micron-scale thin film allows for a reduction in lines and spaces by over 100%, and also allows for multilayer techniques, a certain amount of education is required for designs to be production-ready. This Tech Brief aims to outline the top 7 considerations biosensor circuit designers should pay close atten- tion to early in the earliest stages of prototype development.
