  • Abstract:
  • Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are envisioned to have a significant impact for many applications such as health monitoring and area surveillance. Since many advances in energy aware communication techniques for WSNs, so limitation for energy supply is still a critical issue. One of the most attractive approaches to extend the lifetime of WSNs is harvesting energy from the ambient sources, such as solar, wind and vibration and the dynamic and these sources give rise to many new challenges to modeling and of harvested energy as well as the examination of energy harvesting systems. Sensor networks aim to address energy and by focusing and efficient energy harvesting, usage and delivery. Power management for WSNs mostly focuses on renewable energy harvesting methods that utilize minimal maintenance. hence this project explored a possible next step for WSN energy gathering: a self-starting DC-DC resonant converter that transfers energy from a thermo-electric energy harvester to the load. The fullness feature of its self-starting circuit enabled it to start operating at lower voltages ranging from 400-625 mV to produce a 1 V regulated output. It also specify a maximum power point tracking circuit to ensure maximum power transfer. Moreover, it was fully integrated using a 65 nm CMOS process technology resulting in an area of 863 um by 706 um and 771.85 uW power consumption.
