This paper presents a MEMS-based electromagnetic (EM) energy harvester for low frequency and low acceleration vibrations. The harvester is an improved version of [1], which operates with the frequency up conversion (FupC) principle. The former structure was composed of a low-frequency diaphragm carrying a magnet and 16 high-frequency cantilevers with coils. In this work, the phase difference between the coil outputs, leading to voltage cancellation in serial connection, has been eliminated by using a single coil placed on a diaphragm. Furthermore, the placement and the volume of the magnetic film have been modified for better magnetic coupling. The RMS values of the generated voltage and delivered power to an equivalent resistive load have been measured as 6.94 mV and 1.2 nW, respectively with 10 Hz, 3 mm peak to peak vibrations (0.6 g acceleration). About 32-fold increase in the peak power output has been demonstrated with the presented energy harvester with respect to the previous work.

An Electromagnetic Micro-Power Generator for Low Frequency Vibrations with Tunable Resonance
Türkyılmaz, Serhan; Muhtaroglu, A.; Külah, Haluk (2011-09-07)
This paper presents an electromagnetic (EM) micro-power generator with tunable resonance frequency which can harvest energy from low frequency environmental vibrations. The reported power generator up-converts low frequency environmental vibrations before mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion by utilizing two diaphragms with different resonance frequencies. Power is generated through electromagnetic induction by a magnet attached to the low frequency diaphragm, and a 50 turn, 2.1 Omega coil, and a magn...
An electromagnetic energy harvesting system for low frequency applications with a passive interface ASIC in standard CMOS
Rahimi, Arian; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2012-12-01)
This paper presents a compact energy harvesting system, which consists of an electromagnetic (EM) generator converting ambient low frequency vibrations to DC voltage by using a highly efficient full-wave rectifier in a System-on-Package (Sop). Frequency Up-Conversion technique has been utilized by the in-house EM transducer to harvest energy from very low frequency vibrations (<5 Hz). The interface ASIC is a passive rectifier based on the boot-strap rectification (BSR) technique to decrease the effective th...
An electromagnetic micro power generator for low-frequency environmental vibrations
Külah, Haluk (2004-01-01)
This paper presents an electromagnetic (EM) vibrationto-electrical power generator which can efficiently scavenge energy from low-frequency external vibrations. The reported generator up-converts low-frequency environmental vibrations to a much higher frequency through a novel electro-mechanical frequency up-converter using a magnet, and hence provides efficient energy conversion even at low frequencies. Power is generated by means of electromagnetic induction using a magnet and coils on top of resonating c...
A MEMS-based energy harvester for generating energy from non-resonant environmental vibrations
Zorlu, Ozge; Külah, Haluk (2013-11-01)
This paper presents a non-resonant vibration based electromagnetic MEMS energy harvester, which generates energy from low frequency vibrations with low displacement amplitude. The harvester is composed of an energy harvester chip, housing two electroplated copper micro coils realized on parylene cantilevers and a miniature NdFeB magnet with two mechanical barrier arms. The structure uses the mechanical frequency up conversion (mFupC) principle for energy generation. The non-resonant operation is maintained ...
A 180 nm Self-Powered Rectifier Circuit for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2013-12-18)
This paper presents a new self-powered low voltage rectifier implementation for vibration-based electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters. The proposed circuit is an improved version of the previously reported rectifier, which was designed in TSMC 90 nm CMOS technology. The circuit is designed in lower cost UMC 180 nm CMOS technology, and uses a passive AC/DC quadrupler structure to supply the external power of the utilized active components. Simulation results show that the maximum power conversion efficiency...
