Abstract:

This article presents a photovoltaic energy harvester (PVEH) that achieves high maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency and power conversion efficiency across a $100~000{\times }$ input power dynamic range (DR) (from $10~{\mu }$ W to 1W). Wide-dynamic-range operation is challenging due to the inherent tradeoff between MPPT accuracy and controller power consumption. …

Abstract:

This article presents a high-resolution, wide dynamic-range (DR) current-to-digital converter (IDC) capable of directly digitizing a broad range of bio-current signals. To achieve high resolution, the IDC uses a second-order continuous-time delta–sigma modulator (CT-DSM) architecture with a low-noise current-recycling operational amplifier (op-amp) and a highly linear pseudo-differential voltage-controlled oscillator (…
