Liang, Yansong (author), Wang, Ruizhi (author), Chen, Zhongsheng (author), Du, S. (author)This paper presents a boost converter for thermo-electric energy harvesting with photovoltaic (PV)-assisted startup. The converter employs a new two-phase startup architecture and the PV cell is used in the first phase to provide an initial high voltage for startup. This high voltage drives the boost converter to charge a startup capacitor,...conference paper 2022
