BioFET SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18403362 titled 'BioFET SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The bio-field effect transistor (bioFET) system described in the patent application includes a bioFET that receives a first voltage signal and outputs a current signal, which varies exponentially with respect to the first voltage signal. A logarithmic current-to-time converter is connected to the bioFET and converts the current signal to a time domain signal, which varies logarithmically with respect to the current signal and linearly with respect to the first voltage signal.

Original Abstract Submitted

A bio-field effect transistor (bioFET) system includes a bioFET configured to receive to a first voltage signal and output a current signal, where the current signal varies exponentially with respect to the first voltage signal. A logarithmic current-to-time converter is connected to the bioFET and is configured to receive the current signal and convert the current signal to a time domain signal. The time domain signal varies logarithmically with respect to the current signal, such that the time domain signal varies linearly with respect to the first voltage signal.
