Analog Signal Processing Circuits Using Floating Gate MOS Transistors

Low voltage non-linear computational circuits useful for analog VLSI signal processing applications based on floating gate MOS transistors (FGMOSFETs) are presented. The FGMOS transistors operate in the saturation region. The variable equivalent threshold voltage (VT) of the FGMOS transistor is exploited in such a way to transform it to a simple MOSFET of zero VT. A bias circuit using a convent...

Translinear Circuits Using Subthreshold Floating-Gate MOS Transistors

We describe a family of current-mode circuits with multiple inputs and multiple outputs whose output currents are products and/or quotients of powers of the input currents. These circuits are made up of multiple-input oating-gate MOS (FGMOS) transistors operating in the subthreshold regime. The powers are set by capacitor ratios; hence, they can be quite accurate. We analyze the general family ...

Non-Faradaic Electrochemical Detection of Exocytosis from Mast and Chromaffin Cells Using Floating-Gate MOS Transistors

We present non-faradaic electrochemical recordings of exocytosis from populations of mast and chromaffin cells using chemoreceptive neuron MOS (CνMOS) transistors. In comparison to previous cell-FET-biosensors, the CνMOS features control (CG), sensing (SG) and floating gates (FG), allows the quiescent point to be independently controlled, is CMOS compatible and physically isolates the transisto...

Statistical simulations of oxide leakage current in MOS transistors and Floating Gate memories

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate a physicallybased model allowing the statistical simulations of oxide leakage currents in MOS transistors and Floating Gate memories. This model computes the leakage current through defects randomly generated in the oxide, in case accounting for the formation of percolation paths. Furthermore, a calculation procedure has been developed to calculate the...
