Multiple
source energy harvesting architecture with a common control circuit is
presented in this paper. As multiple energy sources, thermoelectric generator
(TEG), microbial fuel cell (MFC) and solar cell (PV) are deployed. With the
proposed architecture, all sources allow to provide supply voltage to the load
and self-starting i.e., no need of external power sources is achieved. Results
are carried out in a 0.13μm CMOS process and show the effectiveness of the
proposed architecture over the conventional converter circuits. The output is
regulated to 1.58V.
