- Additional information
- The article presents a novel start up circuit configuration using very low power consumption. The design has been shown to outperform existing methods, which increases its applicability. The major significance is that the reduced power consumption will be of great benefit in applications where power is at a premium, such as in wearable biomedical monitors. The design would also benefit implantable biosensor applications, and work is already underway on the development of an insulin level monitoring device for diabetics in artificial pancreatic systems, where power is extremely limited as the device is actually inside the body.
