This paper introduces an energy-harvesting interface that combines a continuously scalable-conversion-ratio switched-capacitor dc-dc converter with maximum power point tracking. By utilizing the unique characteristics of the converter, real-time power monitoring and variation-tolerant MPPT for various energy sources are achieved. The voltage range is extended by a step-up/down convertible converter, and the efficiency is improved with matrix-structured and load-mapped power switches. The test chip shows high peak conversion efficiency and average efficiency, and the MPPT efficiency is confirmed with a solar cell.
An energy-harvesting interface that incorporates a continuously scalable-conversion-ratio (CSCR) switched-capacitor (SC) dc-dc converter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is introduced in this paper. By exploiting unique characteristics of a CSCR SC converter, an MPPT based on the hill climbing algorithm is implemented with a real-time power monitoring scheme with a frequency-mapped sampling capacitor DAC, allowing variation-tolerant MPPT for various types of energy sources. The harvestable voltage range is significantly extended by a step-up/down convertible CSCR SC converter, and the voltage conversion efficiency is further improved with matrix-structured and load-mapped power switches. With the test chip fabricated in 28nm FDSOI technology, the proposed energy harvesting interface shows peak conversion efficiency of 89% and average efficiency of > 80% for 60-2,794 mu W. MPPT efficiency of > 97 % is confirmed with energy harvesting measurement with a solar cell.
