Abstract

A compact power management circuit for thermoelectric generators as a power supply for on-the-body wireless sensor nodes is implemented in a 0.35μm CMOS process. The control circuit consumes 1.4μA to set the number of stages of a charge pump and to generate a 60kHz clock, leading to an overall efficiency of almost 60%.
