This work focuses on addressing the fundamental limitation on the minimum cold start-up voltage that could be harvested from a thermoelectric element (TEG) for human-body wearable applications. For ultra-low DC voltages, the challenge translates to generating a timed-signal to amplify it up to a value that could be used to drive, say, a boost...

This work proposes a new charge pump design suitable for energy harvesting on small human wearable devices. By using only one system for both cold start and high efficiency harvesting, the required silicon area is heavily reduced. The most fitting energy transducer is determined to be a photovoltaic cell, based on aspects of voltage, power and...

Batteries are vital sources in many wireless embedded systems applications like the Tire Pressure Management System (TPMS) in the automobile industry. Also, the growth of electric cars will result in an increasing demand for batteries. Although batteries do not directly pollute the environment during their active life, the production phase and...
