Abstract
New power conversion circuits are presented that interface to a piezoelectric power generator. Measured results are presented for a synchronous rectifier with voltage doubler connected to the piezoelectric membrane. The power efficiency is 88% and the output power is 2.5 μW with a 100 kΩ, 100 nF load. An improved circuit based on the synchronous rectifier achieves 1.4 V, 20 μW and more than 90% efficiency.
