a, Jitter plot of the ring oscillator circuit. The time intervals between the rising edges of the P1 clock signal and the subsequent clock signals are plotted in a histogram to measure the clock jitter over 63 periods .The mean intervals are equally spaced by one-fifth of the clock period. b, Collated plug signals for individual events of the smart particle dispenser. After a particle is trapped, the pressure upstream of the trap (Pplug) rises in a repeatable fashion. The Pplug pressure signal for n = 230 trapping events were aggregated, and a pointwise median signal with 90% and 10% quantile bands were plotted. c, Collated trigger signals for individual events of the smart particle dispenser. The amplifier and the level shifters process the Pplug signal to produce the trigger signals PTrig and \({P}_{\overline{{Trig}}}\). These signals for n = 230 trapping events were aggregated, and a pointwise median signal with 90% and 10% quantile bands are plotted.
