A 500nW batteryless integrated electrostatic energy harvester interface based on a DC-DC converter with 60V maximum input voltage and operating from 1µW available power, including MPPT and cold start KU Leuven
© 2015 IEEE. Battery life is a major concern in wireless sensing applications, as it causes a trade-off between system size and power consumption of the electronic circuits connected to it. Even if electronic circuit power consumption is steadily decreasing, the energy density of common energy storage systems is still extremely low in space-constrained applications. In this scenario, energy harvesting is a valuable solution to extend, in theory ...
