An Optimum Design of Clocked AC-DC Charge Pump Circuits for Vibration Energy Harvesting

This paper shows how clocked AC-DC charge pump circuits can be optimally designed to have the minimum circuit area for small form factor vibration energy harvesting. One can determine an optimum number of stages with simple equations and then determine the capacitance of each pump capacitor to have...
