A 1.1 nW Energy-Harvesting System with 544 pW Quiescent Power for Next-Generation Implants

This paper presents a nW power management unit (PMU) for an autonomous wireless sensor that sustains itself by harvesting energy from the endocochlear potential (EP), the 70-100 mV electrochemical bio-potential inside the mammalian ear. Due to the anatomical constraints inside the inner ear, the tot...
