Abstract :
Energy autonomy enabled by the energy efficient design and the energy harvesting is the one of the top requirements for maintenance-free IoT sensor nodes and wearable/implanted devices. In this paper, energy efficient ultra-low voltage (<; 0.5V) circuits are shown. Energy autonomous wearable healthcare devices using the flexible, large-area, and distributed organic electronics are also shown.
