摘要
A circuit architecture is proposed, which enables an improved system startup for vibration based piezoelectric microgenerators. The innovative approach is based on an optimized synchronous rectifier design and a new trigger circuit. The new architecture is realized as an ASIC in 3.3 V, 0.35 mu m CMOS technology. Simulations and experimental measurements show significant performance improvement in comparison to a single diode-connected transistor. For a load of I MO, the measured value of the circuit output voltage is 1.15 V, where the input voltage amplitude, serial capacitance and frequency are 1.3 V, 44 nF and 500 Hz, respectively.
