Title
A 20-pW Discontinuous Switched-Capacitor Energy Harvester for Smart Sensor Applications.
Abstract
We present a discontinuous harvesting approach for switch capacitor dc-dc converters that enables ultralow-power energy harvesting. Smart sensor applications rely on ultralow-power energy harvesters to scavenge energy across a wide range of ambient power levels and charge the battery. Based on the key observation that energy source efficiency is higher than charge pump efficiency, we present a dis...
