An Input Power-Aware Efficiency Tracking Technique With Discontinuous Charging for Energy Harvesting Applications

This paper proposes a discontinuous charging technique for switched-capacitor converters that improves the power conversion efficiency (PCE) at low power levels and extends the input power harvesting range at which high PCE is achievable. Discontinuous charging delivers current to energy storage onl...
