A Highly Efficient Reconfigurable Charge Pump Energy Harvester With Wide Harvesting Range and Two-Dimensional MPPT for Internet of Things.

A monolithic microwatt-level charge pump energy harvester is proposed for smart nodes of Internet of Things (IOT) networks. Due to the variation of the available voltage and power in IOT scenarios, the charge pump was optimized by the proposed architecture and circuit level innovations. First, a reconfigurable charge pump is introduced to provide the hybrid conversion ratios (CRs) as 1[1/3]× up to...
