Design of analogue and digital building blocks with printed unipolar organic thin-film transistors

This work presents a number of analogue and digital building blocks, designed with a novel printed unipolar organic technology exploiting gravure. Among digital circuits, the design of e.g. dynamic flip-flops is presented. Reliable memory cells are a key element to create sequential logic, which is widely used in applications such as RFIDs and to address sensor matrixes. In addition, the design of analogue amplifiers is discussed. Topologies achieving high gain and suitable for sensor interface applications are presented.
