PROJECT TITLE :

An Optimal Pin-Count Design With Logic Optimization for Digital Microfluidic Biochips

ABSTRACT:

Digital microfluidic biochips have become one in every of the foremost promising technologies for biomedical experiments. In fashionable microfluidic technology, reducing the amount of independent management pins that reflects most of the fabrication value, power consumption, and reliability of a microfluidic system, could be a key challenge for each digital microfluidic biochip style. However, all the previous chip styles sacrifice the optimality of the matter, and only restricted reduction on the number of management pins is observed. Moreover, most existing styles cannot satisfy high-throughput demand for bioassays, and thus inapplicable in practical contexts. During this paper, we propose the primary optimal pin-count style scheme for digital microfluidic biochips. By integrating a very easy combinational logic circuit into the initial chip, the proposed scheme can give high-throughput for bioassays with an data-theoretic minimum number of management pins. Furthermore, to address the fast growth of the chip’s scale, we tend to additionally propose a scalable and efficient heuristics to reduce the amount of control pins. A logic optimization technique, that will be used to reduce the complexity of the integrated combinational logic circuit, is additionally presented in this paper. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme will get abundant fewer variety of control pins compared with the previous state-of-the-art works.
