摘要： Specific ionic interactions with a sensing material that is electrically coupled with the floating gate of a floating gate-based ion sensitive field effect transistor (FGISFET) may be used to sense a target material. For example, an FGISFET can use (e.g., previously demonstrated) ionic interaction-based sensing techniques with the floating gate of floating gate field effect transistors. The floating gate can serves as a probe and an interface to convert chemical and/or biological signals to electrical signals, which can be measured by monitoring the change in the device's threshold voltage, VT.

摘要： A PLD (200) includes a power management unit (PMU 210) that selectively implements one or more different power-reduction techniques in response to power configuration signals (PC). By manipulating the PC signals, the PMU can independently enable/disable various supply voltage circuits (110, 120, 130) that power CLBs (101), IOBs (102), and configuration memory cells (106), can generate a capture signal that causes data stored in storage elements of the CLBs to be captured in configuration memory cells, and/or can switch power terminals of configuration memory cells between voltage supply circuits. Also, the PMU can sequentially apply and remove power from a number of configurable PLD portions in response to the PC signals, wherein each configurable portion may include any number of the PLD's resources.
