Abstract

This paper presents a thermoelectric energy harvesting (TEH) interface that realizes: 1) a multi-channel TEH for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under uneven temperature conditions, improving efficiency by up to 39.6%; and 2) a tapped-inductor start-up functionality, which can begin operating at 62mV with no additional inductors or series switches. The overall design achieves a 90.51% peak end-to-end efficiency.
