  • Abstract
    An autonomous power generator unit includes 2 micropower sources and their associated management IC; a 1V miniature thermogenerator and RF power receiver are combined with a micropower DC-DC upconverter, power supply manager and microbattery charger, and a 5nW discharge monitor, to manage and store the harvested energy in a 30mm2 above-IC deposited microbattery.
