SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HARVESTING DISSIPATED HEAT FROM INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (ICS) IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY FOR PROVIDING POWER FOR THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Systems and methods for harvesting dissipated heat from integrated circuits (ICs) in electronic devices into electrical energy for providing power for the electronic devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, energy transferred from one or more ICs in the form of dissipated heat is harvested to convert at least a portion of this dissipated heat into electricity. This power can be used to provide power to the ICs to reduce overall power consumption by the electronic device. The harvested dissipated heat can be supplied to ICs in the electronic device to provide power to the ICs. Alternatively, or in addition, the harvested dissipated heat can be stored in an energy storage device to provide power to the ICs at a later time.
