Multi-harvesting smart solution for self-powered wearable objects: System-level model and transistor-level design

Résumé

Internet of Things and growing popularity of connected devices are increasing the demand for wearables applications, which is driving the development of ultra-low power secure systems. Thus, having a system running at low voltage with low power consumption introduces the use of ambient energy harvesting. Besides, batteries have several limitations reducing their compatibility with wearables, including periodical need for recharge, limited life-time, heavy and large form factor and non-eco-friendly life-cycle. Therefore ambient energy harvesting technology gives a promising alternative for self-powered wearables. The integration of these solutions on the same silicon support is a real technological challenge. This paper proposes a multi-harvesting fully-integrated system architecture combining AC and DC sources. Based on a MATLAB/Simulink model, the proposed system allows the calibration of an optimal solution. It is designed and simulated in 40 nm CMOS process, demonstrating the use of an AC source as secondary input to start a harvesting system with very low DC source as main source.
