Integrated circuits have been used to implement miniaturized and low-power electrochemical potentiostats that are suitable for wearable devices. However, employing modern integrated circuit technologies with low supply voltage precludes the utilization of electrochemical reactions that require a higher potential window. In this paper, we present a novel circuit architecture that utilizes dynamic voltage at the working electrode of an electrochemical cell to effectively enhance the supported voltage range compared to traditional designs, increasing the cell voltage range by 46% and 88% for positive and negative cell voltages, respectively. In return, this facilitates a wider range of bias voltages in an electrochemical cell, and, therefore, opens integrated microsystems to a broader class of electrochemical reactions. The circuit was implemented in 180 nm technology and consumes 2.047 mW of power. It supports a bias potential range of 1.1 V to \u22122.12 V and cell potential range of 2.41 V to \u22123.11 V that is nearly double the range in conventional designs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24092902","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,1]],"date-time":"2024-05-01T08:59:39Z","timestamp":1714553979000},"page":"2902","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Wide Voltage Swing Potentiostat with Dynamic Analog Ground to Expand Electrochemical Potential Windows in Integrated Microsystems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6154-2108","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ehsan","family":"Ashoori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1620-0699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Derek","family":"Goderis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Inohara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}]},{"given":"Andrew J.","family":"Mason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trac.2015.12.017","article-title":"Electrochemical biosensors for fast detection of food contaminants\u2013trends and perspective","volume":"79","author":"Rotariu","year":"2016","journal-title":"TrAC Trends Anal.
