A fully integrated CMOS bio-chip is designed in a SMIC 0.18μm CMOS mixed signal process and successfully integrated with a novel bio-nano-system. The proposed circuit integrates an array of 4 × 4 （16 pixels） of 19μm × 19μm electrodes,a counter electrode, a current mode preamplifier circuit （CMPA） ,a digital decoding circuit,and control logics on a single chip, It provides a - 1.6- 1.6V range of assembly voltage,Sbit potential resolution, and a current gain of 39.8dB with supply voltage of 1.8V. The offset and noise are smaller than 5.9nA and 25.3pArms,respectively. Experimental resuits from on-chip selective assembly of 30nm poly （ethylene glycol） （PEG） coated magnetic nano-particles （MNPs） targeted at biosensor applications are included and discussed to verify the feasibility of the proposed circuits.
A 13bit,pipelined analog-to-digital converter （ADC） designed to achieve high linearity is described. The high linearity is realized by using the passive capacitor error-averaging technique to calibrate the capacitor mismatch error, a gain-boosting opamp to minimize the finite gain error and gain nonlinearity,a bootstrapping switch to reduce the switch on-resistor nonlinearity, and an anti-disturb design to reduce the noise from the digital supply. This ADC is implemented in 0.18μm CMOS technology and occupies a die area of 3.2mm^2 , including pads. Measured performance includes - 0.18/ 0.15LSB of differential nonlinearity, -0.35/0.5LSB of integral nonlinearity, 75.7dB of signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio （SNDR） and 90. 5 dBc of spurious-free dynamic range （SFDR） for 2.4MHz input at 2.5MS/s. At full speed conversion （5MS/s） and for the same 2.4MHz input, the measured SNDR and SFDR are 73.7dB and 83.9 dBc, respectively. The power dissipation including output pad drivers is 21mW at 2.5MS/s and 34mW at 5MS/s,both at 2.7V supply.
