微能量采集电路设计

Energy harvesting and management circuit has been widely used in low-powerSystem-on-Chips (SoCs), with applications ranging from generalInternet-of-Things (IoT) edge devices to wearable and implantable devices. Thiscourse will introduce the electrical models of some representative and emergingenergy harvesters, design considerations, essential circuit building blocks,maximum power point tracking, as well as the state-of-the-art circuit andsystem optimization techniques. The goal of the course is to enable students tounderstand the integrated circuit and system designs for energy harvesting, andthe design methodologies for low-power applications. Through analysis and discussionson the cutting-edge designs from both the industry and academia, students areexpected to have an awareness of the challenges, technical progresses, and thetrend. They are also expected to be able to evaluate a circuit designcritically, to translate system specifications, and to use circuit techniquesto address real-world application problems.
