Title Design of a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) actuator control circuits for microfluidics.
Summary This project involves the design and development of actuator control circuits to drive the SAW device for various microfluidic applications including particle separation. The compactness of the SAW device over other active techniques is significant for lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices, however currently the associated driver circuits consists mostly of bench-top equipment’s. Thus, this project finds significance for LOC devices.
The oscillator stage which generates the sinusoidal signal corresponding to the SAW center frequency is applied to a power amplifier, which finally drives the SAW device. The SAW device would need a power ~1W for driving microfluidic applications. The buck-boost converted could be used to amplify the voltage as supply for the power amplifier.
