Problems solved by technology

[0004] Since the reference electrode produced by the interaction between the quasi-reference electrode and the solution is unstable, and the electrical characteristics of the ISFET are sensitive to temperature, such as the sensitive film-solution interface potential will change with the temperature, and the threshold voltage of the ISFET will also change with the temperature. The pH value of the electrolyte will also change with the temperature. The traditional ISFET sensor readout circuit adopts a direct coupling amplification method. While amplifying the signal, the readout circuit also amplifies the offset and temperature drift accordingly.
