Figure 3.40
Broadcast addressing for the PCR chip.
Assuming a direct-addressing scheme, the layout in Figure 3.38 requires
62 control pins. However, using the proposed broadcast-addressing method,
we reduce the number of control pins to 14. The pin-constrained layout for
the PCR chip is shown in Figure 3.40.
3.3.4.3 Protein Dilution
The third assay that we consider consists of the dilution steps in a real-life
protein assay described in Chapter 2, Section 2.4. The flowchart is shown in
Figure 2.5. A droplet of the protein sample with concentration
C
is diluted on
chip through seven hierarchies of binary mixing/splitting phases to derive
