Read-out interfacing circuit for ISFET-based PH sensor VTH monitoring / Siti Nor Nadiah Nazari

The Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) measure the pH-value and concentration of chemical activity by detecting ion hydrogen, H+ and this will change ISFET's threshold voltage, VTH. There is a need to extract the VTH changes using readout interfacing circuits (ROICs) instead of devic...
