Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
A fully integrated voltage multiplier with low startup voltage (VSTART) and fast startup is developed for the energy harvesting (e.g. thermoelectric energy harvester). The generation of the high frequency clock signal with large amplitude without using off-chip components is a key to achieve the voltage multiplier. The proposed passive clock boost using two on-chip transformers with the winding turns ratio of three reduces VSTART. The 138-MHz clock generation with a fully integrated LC oscillator enables the fast startup. The voltage multiplier fabricated in 65-nm CMOS achieves the lowest cold VSTART of 85mV in the published fully integrated voltage multiplier and the shortest startup time of 50μs. |
