PROFESSOR SARPESHKAR'S BOOK
Ultra Low Power Bioelectronics: Fundamentals, Biomedical Applications, and
Bio-inspired Systems
BOOK SUMMARY
This book provides, for the first time, a broad and deep treatment of
the fields of both ultra low power electronics and bioelectronics.
It discusses fundamental principles and circuits for ultra low power
electronic design and their applications in biomedical systems. It also
discusses how ultra-energy-efficient cellular and neural systems in biology
can inspire revolutionary low power architectures in mixed-signal and RF
electronics. A wealth of insights and examples from brain implants, cochlear
implants, bio-molecular sensing, cardiac devices, and bio-inspired systems
make the book useful and engaging for students and practicing engineers.
The book presents a unique, unifying view of ultra low power analog and
digital electronics and emphasizes the use of the ultra-energy-efficient
subthreshold regime of transistor operation in both. Chapters on batteries,
energy harvesting, and the future of energy provide an understanding of
fundamental relationships between energy use and energy generation at small
scales and at large scales.
This book is based on a course taught at MIT for 10 years and
was the best seller at the ISSCC 2010 conference.
