Abstract

A sensor device includes a sensor array and a flow cell in fluid communication with the sensor array. Bias circuitry apply bias arrangements to the sensor array to produce sensor data. Peripheral circuitry coupled to the bias circuitry produces streams of data from the sensor array, the peripheral circuitry having an active mode and an idle mode. Logic to switch the peripheral circuitry between the active mode and the idle mode to control power consumption is provided. A temperature sensor may be included, and the logic can operate with feedback to switch between the active mode and the idle mode to maintain the temperature within an operating range.
