Abstract
This paper presents an ultra-low-power (1 μW-to-1 mW) and high voltage (5 V-to-60 V input voltage) inductive DC-DC converter to efficiently interface electrostatic energy harvesters. The chip is fully autonomous and includes start-up, shunt regulation, and maximum power point tracking. All these functions are realized with a static consumption of less than 500 nW, while being able to efficiently interface harvesters with an equivalent source resistance between 0.5 MΩ and 25 MΩ.
