Abstract
This paper presents a customizable, portable, battery-operated, wireless platform for interfacing high-sensitivity nanoscale sensors. The platform acquires currents from 1.5 nA to 7.2 µA with 20-bit resolution and variable sampling rates up to 3.125 kSPS. It features a bipolar voltage programmable from -10 V to +5 V with 3.65 mV resolution. A Finite State Machine (FSM) allows dynamic adjustments of nanosensor bias, data logging, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data transmission. Average power consumption is 64.5 mW at three samples per second with 0 dBm BLE transmission. The platform's performance is demonstrated using a CNT nanosensor for NO₂ detection down to 1 ppb, with a 3σ limit of detection of 23 ppb. Its versatility makes it suitable for various resistive nanosensors and IoT applications.
