9-5 AC Power Supply Circuits for Energy Harvesting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Passive energy harvesting from mechanical vibration has wide application in wearable and embedded sensors to complement or replace batteries. Energy harvesting efficiency can be increased by eliminating AC/DC conversion. A test chip demonstrating self-timing, power-on-reset circuitry, and memory for energy harvesting AC voltages has been designed in 180 nm CMOS and tested. Circuit operation is confirmed for supply frequencies between 60 Hz and 1 kHz with power consumption below 130 μW.
