Abstract

Low power, short-range ISM band transceivers have become extremely important in enabling new applications and have become highly successful commercially. New energy harvesting methodologies will open further applications but demand lower power and supply voltages than currently available chipsets can provide. For example, on-chip solar cells allow only a 200mV to 900mV supply; thermoelectric generators can be used for on-body generation, but provide low supply voltages (50-300mV) [1]. Although boost converters can be employed, their limited efficiency (40%∼75%) often incurs a significant power penalty [2].
