Harvesting nanowatts to milliwatts from ambient sources using advanced energy harvester integrated circuits
In the context of energy harvesting, advanced power management integrated circuits (PMICs) function like a utility company in that it controls the delivery of ambient power to downstream electronics. Properly selecting a PMIC based on five important criteria can allow system designers to augment system batteries or create self-powered systems. An energy harvester is an [...]
