SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING POWER-ON OR BOOT SEQUENCE OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT ON THE BASIS OF POWER HARVESTING CONDITION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique that allows energy harvesting systems to boot reliably across a certain range of power harvesting conditions.SOLUTION: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an integrated circuit such as a system-on-chip that operates in part from harvested power and that uses information about power harvesting conditions to alter a power-on sequence or boot sequence on the basis of the information. In some embodiments, a method uses information about power harvesting and energy harvesting conditions to alter a power-on sequence or boot sequence.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
