Abstract

Nature is a great analog and digital circuit designer. She has innovated circuits in the biochemical, biomechanical, and bioelectronic domains that operate very robustly with highly imprecise parts, and with incredibly low levels of power. This talk will discuss how analog, RF, and bio-inspired circuits and architectures have led to, and are leading to, novel systems for ultra-low-power biomedical applications. Examples from systems for cochlear-implants for the deaf, brain-machine interfaces for the blind and paralyzed, and in bio-molecular circuits for systems biology and synthetic biology will be presented.
