Abstract

A 5μW-5mW input power range, 0-3.5V output voltage range RF energy harvester is designed to charge super-capacitors for RFID applications. Voltage protection techniques are used to improve the peak output voltage from 2.5V to 3.5V resulting in a 100% increase in stored energy. An all analog low power maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller with an embedded power estimator increases the maximum tracking speed by 8x, improves the input power range by 8x, and accumulates 35% more energy during charging transients. The chip is fabricated in TSMC's 65nm GP process, occupies an area of 0.15mm², and has a measured peak efficiency of 91%.
