Abstract :
A low voltage fully integrated DC-DC converter with power management system is presented for self-powered temperature sensors. The proposed circuit uses 0.18 μm CMOS technology, and has been verified in simulations. The system can start up with input voltage as low as 0.17 V, and generates 1 V regulated output with 18% peak efficiency. Off-chip components or non-standards processes are avoided for fully standard CMOS integration in ultra-low voltage and low cost system-on-chip applications.
