We recently demonstrated that it is possible to model and to simulate biological functions using hardware description languages (and associated simulators) traditionally used for micro-electronics. The main drawback of these languages is that they do not support partial differential equations. However, for several applications in biology, space-dependent quantities are unavoidable. This paper deals...
Research and development in life sciences domain brings every day many innovations. Some of them have been enabled (or improved) by the micro-electronics. Several examples are described in this paper. A big challenge in the design of such systems is that the biological part cannot be uncoupled from the rest of the system during the design process. The integration of biological parts in system's design...
Nowadays, synthetic biology is a hot research topic. Each day, progresses are made to improve the complexity of artificial biological functions in order to tend to complex biodevices and biosystems. Up to now, these systems are handmade by bioengineers, which require strong technical skills and leads to nonreusable development. Besides, scientific fields that share the same design approach, such as...
Many successive improvements of the charge pump principle introduced by Dickson have paved the way to efficient integrated DC-DC converters such as the one introduced by Ker. However the rapid optimization and prototyping of such circuits have not yet been proposed. This paper introduces a model of the Ker charge pump when loaded by a resistor and a two fold optimization method: area or efficiency/area...
