Motivation
technology
from seed
• Magnetoresistive (MR) -based biochips for biomolecular recognition[1]
– Biomolecular probes are immobilized in MR sensor chip surface
– Magnetic bead is attached to target biomolecule
– If target and probe biomolecules are complementary, hybridization occurs
– After washing to remove unhybridized biomoleclues, the magnetic bead is
magnetized by na external field, and generate fringe fields that are detected by the
MR sensors
– Femtomolar detection [8]

CMOS Circuits for MR sensors reading
and driving
technology
from seed
• To develop a CMOS instrumentation circuit for MR biosensors
interface
• CMOS circuit requirements:
– Current source to bias the MR sensors.
– Allow the addressing of a wide number of MR sensors (hundreds to thousands).
– Pre-amplify, filter, and digitize MR sensor signals
– Minimum noise in order to take advantage of high sensitivity of MR sensors.
– Minimum power consumption and area in order to increase battery lifetime and
decrease system cost.

Conclusions
from seed
• MR Sensor fabrication over CMOS chips have been
proven
• CMOS circuits for MR sensor biasing, addressing, and
signal amplification and filtering have been designed
• Ultra-low noise instrumentation amplifier and analog-todigital converter must be designed in order to provide a
full on-chip frontend for the on-chip MR sensors.
