The National Science Foundation awarded Ai Linear Inc. a $252,830 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnership's program to develop a smart amplifier integrated circuit. The circuit will intelligently alter its performance parameters in response to input conditions, enabling always-on, ultra-low power Internet of Things and smart sensor applications situated at the edge. Specifically, the company will design an IC amplifier using a novel circuit that adjusts speed, noise, and gain based on small and large input signals. The resulting smart amplifier is intended as a fundamental building block manufacturable on a conventional 65 nanometer process. It aims to provide ultra-low power and noise with high gain, stability, and output current in a single silicon chip. This innovation could enable new battery-operated wearable and implantable medical devices, as well as toxicity sensors, to continuously function and respond rapidly with minimal energy usage.
