LaMUX: Optimized Logic-Gate-Enabled High-Performance Microfluidic Multiplexer Design
DescriptionTo meet the increasingly complex experimental demands, the number of microvalves in flow-based microfluidic biochips has increased significantly, making it necessary to adopt multiplexers (MUXes) to actuate microvalves. However, existing MUX designs have limited coding capacities, resulting in excessive chip-to-world interface. This paper proposes a novel gate structure for modifying the current MUX architecture, along with a mixed coding strategy achieving the maximum coding capacity within the modified architecture. Additionally, a synthesis tool for the mixed-coding-based MUXes (LaMUXes) is presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the LaMUX is exceptionally efficient, substantially reducing the usage of pneumatic controllers and microvalves in MUXes.
