A 40-nm CMOS Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting IC for Wearable Biomedical Applications

This investigation presents an energy harvesting IC (integrated circuit) for piezoelectric materials as a substitute for battery of a wearable biomedical device. It employs a voltage multiplier as first stage which uses water bucket fountain approach to boost the very low voltage generated by the pi...
