This paper presents a novel self-powered and fully autonomous interface circuit to extract piezoelectric energy from vibrations available in the environment for supplying DC voltage to electronic loads. A new energy extraction technique called Synchronized Switch Harvesting on Capacitor-Inductor (SSHCI) is utilized, which reduces system cost through a downsized inductor in the range of tens of mu H's. while achieving as high voltage flipping efficiency as cony entional SSHI circuits. Fabricated in 180 um standard CMOS technology, the interface circuit has been tested on a MEMS piezoelectric energy harvester with 2 nF intrinsic capacitance in presence of vibrations at 415 Hz resonant frequency. SSHCI circuit provides 6.14x relative irnprov ement over/maximum output power of an ideal full-bridge rectifier (FBR) by utilizing a 68 mu H inductor to charge a 453 nF storage capacitance. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 901% has been measured for SSHCI operation due to low power design techniques and optimized switching time for charge flipping.

Highly Integrated 3 V Supply Electronics for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters With Minimum 0.4 V-peak Input
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2017-07-01)
This paper presents a self-powered interface enabling battery-like operation with a regulated 3 V output from ac signals as low as 0.4 V-peak, generated by electromagnetic energy harvesters under low frequency vibrations. As the first stage of the 180 nm standard CMOS circuit, harvested signal is rectified through an ac/dc doubler with active diodes powered internally by a passive ac/dc quadrupler. The voltage is boosted in the second stage through a low voltage charge pump stimulated by an on-chip ring osc...
An efficient integrated interface electronics for electromagnetic energy harvesting from low voltage sources
Ulusan, Hasan; Gharehbaghi, Kaveh; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2013-12-01)
This paper presents a fully-integrated self-powered interface circuit for efficient rectification of the signals generated by vibration based low-voltage electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters. The circuit utilizes an improved AC/DC doubler structure with active diodes to minimize the forward bias voltage drop for enhancing the rectifier efficiency. The comparators in the active diodes are powered internally by another passive AC/DC doubler with diode connected transistors. The performance is maximized thro...
An adaptable interface circuit for low power MEMS piezoelectric energy harvesters with multi-stage energy extraction
Chamanian, Salar; Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Kulah, Haluk (IEEE; 2017-10-21)
This paper presents a self-powered interface circuit to extract energy from ambient vibrations for powering up microelectronic devices. The system uses a MEMS piezoelectric energy harvester to scavenge power in 5 μW to 400 μW range. Synchronous electric charge extraction (SECE) technique is utilized to transfer harvested energy to output storage with the help of a novel multi-stage energy extraction (MSEE) circuit. The circuit is optimized in 180nm HV CMOS technology to operate with minimum power losses at ...
Stage Optimization in Regulated Step-Up for Low Voltage Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2015-03-26)
This paper presents a performance enhancement feature for a novel power management circuit to generate 1.8 V from the low DC voltage rectified at the output of the vibration-based electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters. The proposed 180 nm circuit utilizes a low voltage charge pump based boost converter with variable output-stages, and an autonomous regulator circuit with negative feedback topology. 2 and 3 stage charge pump options in the variable stage configuration has been validated to extend the suppor...
Low input voltage and high step-up integrated regulator for thermoelectric energy harvesting
Pathirana, W. P. M. R.; Jayaweera, H. M. P. C.; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2015-03-26)
This paper presents a low input voltage and high step-up fully integrated DC-DC regulator in 0.18 mu m standard CMOS technology for thermoelectric micro-power generation. The circuit avoids off-chip components, non-standard processes, and is thus suitable for ultra-low voltage low profile system-on-chip applications. The proposed system can deliver a regulated output voltage of 1.5 V at 31 mu W output power with an input voltage as low as 0.2 V. The maximum simulated efficiency is 22% at the given step-up r...
