Harvesting on-site energy creates energy autonomy the prolongs the operation life-time and improves system economy. To process and\u0026nbsp;deliver the harvested energy, these electronics rely on power management unit (PMU). These PMUs in energy harvesting applications must overcome some specific challenges which are different than other application areas.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis thesis\u0026nbsp;focuses on some major challenges of\u0026nbsp;designing efficient PMUs for low voltage, low power energy harvesting applications. Several\u0026nbsp;design innovations \u0026nbsp;are proposed\u0026nbsp;to overcome those challenges. High duty cycle oscillator for increased conversion ratio, bias gating for self-consumption minimization, inductor multiplexing for reduced footprint and multiple output generation for\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;simultaneous multi-domain power delivery will be discussed.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Several prototype\u0026nbsp;chips are\u0026nbsp;developed demonstrating the proposed methods\u0026nbsp;and, results from those chips are presented in this thesis. \u0026nbsp;\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Efficient Power Management Circuits for Energy Harvesting Applications"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2016-06-30 16:41:42","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:18:15","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-07-19T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-07-19T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-07-19T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-07-19 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-07-19 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-07-19 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
