Abstract

Printed electronics (PE) on flexible substrates is a promising technology for wearables and internet of things (IoT). To implement an integrated system on flexible substrates for applications ranging from medical imaging to disposable thermometers, robust design methodology based on unreliable printed components plays a critical role. This paper reviews robust design of printed circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFT). A novel design style known as Pseudo-CMOS [1], which can tackle several design challenges of TFT circuits, is also introduced. Design examples of Pseudo-CMOS circuits for applications in energy [2], healthcare [3], biomedical [4], and near-field communication (NFC) tags [5], [6] are discussed.
