This paper presents a CMOS integrated interface circuit for piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH). A fully self-powered circuit, based on Synchronous Electric Charge extraction (SECE) technique, is implemented for non-resonant piezoelectric harvesters generating low power, in 10s to 100s mu W range. The circuit is realized in standard 180 nm UMC CMOS technology. A switch control circuit is designed and optimized to extract maximum power independently from excitation changes of the PEH. The total power loss of the switch control circuit is reduced to 3.6 mu W. The simulations with an output voltage range of 1.1 to 4 V show maximum power conversion efficiency of 83% (at 4 V) for a higher power PEH module, and maximum power conversion efficiency of 75% (at 2.6 V) for a lower power PEH module.

An adaptive piezoelectric energy harvesting interface circuit with a novel peak detector
Chamanian, S.; Zorlu, O.; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroglu, A. (2015-03-26)
This paper presents a fully self-powered interface circuit with a novel peak detector for piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH). This circuit can be utilized to scavenge energy from low power environmental vibrations in 10s of mu W range. Synchronous switching technique is used to extract maximum available power where switching instants are detected independently from excitation changes of the PEH. The proposed peak detector senses voltages higher than power supply for a wide frequency range of input vibrat...
A CMOS switched-capacitor interface circuit for an integrated accelerometer
Külah, Haluk; Najafi, K (2000-01-01)
This paper presents a CMOS interface electronics for monolithic micromachined capacitive accelerometer systems. The interface electronics is a fully differential switched-capacitor charge integrator with its internal clock generator and sensor feedback circuit for closed-loop operation. The circuit is designed for open-loop and closed-loop operations, and provides both digital and differential analog outputs. One of the main advantages of this chip is that it can be monolithically integrated with the sensor...
Fully Integrated Ultra-Low Voltage DC-DC Converter with Voltage Quadrupling LC Tank Oscillator for Energy Harvesting Applications
Jayaweera, H. M. P. C.; Tabrizi, Hamed Osouli; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2017-12-02)
This paper presents a novel fully integrated ultra-low voltage DC-DC converter and its multi-stage architecture. DC-DC converter frequency has been analytically derived using model analysis and validated in Cadence environment. The proposed voltage quadrupling LC tank oscillator eliminates the buffer circuits utilized in the traditional DC-DC converter, hence improves the performance metrics such as efficiency and output power capacity. The circuit was designed in 180nm standard CMOS process and was simulat...
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 ...
A Self-Powered and Efficient Rectifier for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2014-11-05)
This paper presents an interface circuit for efficient rectification of voltages from electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters operating with very low vibration frequencies. The interface utilizes a dual-rail AC/DC doubler which benefits from the full cycle of the input AC voltage, and minimizes the forward bias voltage drop with an active diode structure. The active diodes are powered through an AC/DC quadrupler with diode connected (passive) transistors. The interface system has been validated to drive 22 m...
