(Invited paper) energy delivery for self-powered IoT devices

摘要

Distributed small-scale electronics for IoT applications are on the rise. Power delivery for such electronics requires innovative design techniques to improve energy efficiency. This paper summarizes energy delivery challenges for IoT devices and discusses several design techniques for efficient power delivery units. Such design solutions cover challenges like energy harvesting from very low input voltage, maximized energy harvesting, energy delivery with multiple voltage domains and design using low voltage devices to sustain higher than breakdown voltages.
