Abstract
This paper describes the design of an energy and power manager for energy-harvesting devices consisting of four power converters operating in PFM mode for a low-energy and load current. The harvested energy can be maximized using a maximum power point tracking technique by a battery-charging converter, and stable voltages are generated and supplied to the charger and output loads by the other converters. These converters are optimized for high conversion efficiency with optimal switch sizes and an inductor peak current based on a numerical approach. For a further increase at a light load, the power management reduces the average bias current dynamically. It also controls the consumed or output power according to the operating condition. Using an IC fabricated in a 0.18혻μm process, we verified experimentally that the energy and power manager achieves high efficiency through an optimal design with a numerical approach, and through the power management, especially for a light load, and is therefore efficient for low-energy harvesting.
