Many electrochemical biosensors operate based on a threshold-sensing (TS) method, which indicates the presence of a disease when the concentration of a biomarker exceeds a predetermined, disease-specific threshold. The TS in biosensor systems is often implemented using power-hungry signal processing (SP) modules or computers, which increases energy consumption and system complexity. Here, we propose a memristor-based bio-to-electrical transducer with built-in TS functionality, allowing TS to be performed directly within the transducer instead of relying on SP modules and computers. Fabricated resistive random-access memory-based TaO(X)/Ta(2)O(5) memristors meet the transducer requirements, such as a high on/off ratio greater than 30 while maintaining a long unit pulse width exceeding 10 mus. The intended operation of the proposed transducer was experimentally confirmed by the immediate change in resistance of the memristor (R(M)) from high resistance state to low resistance state. Using this proposed transducer, a complete electrochemical biosensor system was implemented by integrating a sensor electrode for pH sensing, an SP module, and a display with the proposed transducer. The memristor-based system offers flexible control of the threshold pH point through a simple design, making it well-suited for point-of-care diagnostics, where portability is highly essential.
