A Self-Powered 21-Component Transient Piezoelectric Energy Harvester With Single-Stage MPPT and Near-Zero Standby Consumption

A Self-Powered 21-Component Transient Piezoelectric Energy Harvester With Single-Stage MPPT and Near-Zero Standby Consumption 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a rectifierless synchronous inversion and optimal charge extraction (SIOCE) interface with single-stage maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for intermittent vibrations, which are common in real-world applications. Unlike conventional rectifiers that suffer from standby power consumption or rely on inefficient multi-stage conversion, the proposed SIOCE interface circuit decouples …

A 0.73 A/mm3 Switched-Capacitor-Stack-Inductor Volumetric Integrated Voltage Regulator With Auxiliary-Assisted Gain Boosting for High-Power-Density PoL Applications 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a volumetric integrated voltage regulator (IVR) based on a switched-capacitor-stack-inductor (SCSL) architecture that employs a holistic topology-control-package codesign to overcome the hardware and efficiency bottlenecks of conventional asymmetric multiinductor designs. Based on a discrete-time state-space model, a rigorous root-locus analysis reveals that a rudimentary single voltage-mode control …

A 12-bit 1-GS/s Current-Steering DAC With Paired Current Source Switching Background Mismatch Calibration

A 12-bit 1-GS/s Current-Steering DAC With Paired Current Source Switching Background Mismatch Calibration 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a spur-suppressed background calibration technique for high-speed current-steering digital-to-analog converters (DACs), based on a paired current source (CS) switching scheme. In conventional background calibration, periodic switching of CSs to and from the calibration mode introduces unwanted glitches that appear as spurious tones. The proposed technique introduces an …
