Abstract

This chapter complements other chapters on battery technologies and on-chip DC-DC conversion, and mainly addresses the challenges of designing low power IoT nodes that are powered by energy harvesting sources, which is the key enabling technology to extend battery life and minimize manual battery maintenance, using in situ power extraction from the surrounding. Energy harvesting options, circuit concepts, considerations and trade-offs regarding circuit topology, passive component and CMOS process are surveyed. In particular, recent circuit solutions involving non-conventional power management schemes specifically catering for energy-harvesting-assisted IoT systems will be discussed and compared.
