Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been one of the most severe public health issues in recent decades. Patients affected by CKD require a complicated and expensive treatment such as hemodialysis. The management of hemodialysis patients have been a particular challenge for nephrologists during the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. The accepted measure of dialysis dose is based on the removal of urea from the blood pool. Urea concentration is usually evaluated with the aid of blood samples that are analyzed in a clinical laboratory, but there is still the need of continuous monitoring of the dialysis efficiency to optimize clinical treatments. Hence, we have investigated and demonstrated an optofluidic sensing platform to detect urea content in water solutions by comparing light transmittance across a flat microfluidic channel with and without fluid. We considered the effect of absorption in the wavelength bands around λ = 1.45 μm and λ = 2.15 μm, where water and urea exhibit characteristic peaks of absorbance [2]. In the instrumental configuration (Fig. 1(a)), radiation provided by two LEDs crosses the microfluidic device and is finally detected in time domain with an amplified InGaAs photodiode, connected to the oscilloscope for data visualization and acquisition. The microfluidic device is a rectangular section borosilicate glass capillary (Vitrocom, NJ, USA) with two extremities provided with heat shrink tubes to facilitate injection of the fluid into the channel. Nominal channel length and depth of the channel are 50 mm and 1 mm, respectively. We vertically fixed the capillary in direct contact with the photodiode mounting, ensuring a LED-photodiode distance of just 5 mm. Transmittance measurements were carried out by filling the channel with urea-water solutions with concentrations of urea up to 0.05 g/ml. Data acquired with the oscilloscope are then analyzed in MATLAB environment, to extract the average and standard deviation of the photodetected signal amplitude in the tim

This article designs a 14-bit successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter(SAR ADC).A novel digital bubble sorting calibration method is proposed and applied to eliminate the effect of capacitor mismatch on the linearity of the SAR ADC. To reduce the number of capacitors, a hybrid architecture of a high 8-bit binary-weighted capacitor array and a low 6-bit resistor array is adopted by the digital-to-analog(DAC). The common-mode voltage VCM-based switching scheme is chosen to reduce the switching energy and area of the DAC. The time-domain comparator is employed to obtain lower power consumption. Sampling is performed through a gate voltage bootstrapped switch to reduce the nonlinear errors introduced when sampling the input signal. Moreover, the SAR logic and the whole calibration is totally implemented on-chip through digital integrated circuit(IC) tools such as design compiler, IC compiler, etc. Finally, a prototype is designed and implemented using 0.18 μm bipolar-complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS)-double-diffused MOS 1.8 V CMOS technology. The measurement results show that the SAR ADC with on-chip bubble sorting calibration method achieves the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio of 69.75 dB and the spurious-free dynamic range of 83.77 dB.
