The potential application space for miniaturized systems like wireless microsensors is expansive, from reconnaissance mission work and remote sensors to biomedical implants and disposable consumer products. Conforming to microscale dimensions, however, constrains energy and power to such an extent that sustaining critical power-hungry functions like wireless communication is problematical. Harvesting ambient kinetic energy offers an appealing alternative, except the act of transferring energy requires power that could easily exceed what the harvester generates in the first place. This paper reviews piezoelectric and electrostatic harvester circuits, describes how to design low-power switched-inductor converters capable of producing net energy gains when supplied from piezoelectric and electrostatic transducers, and presents experimental results from prototype embodiments. In the electrostatic case shown, the controller dissipated 0.91 nJ per cycle and the switched-inductor precharger achieved 90.3% efficiency to allow the harvester to net a gain of 2.47 nJ per cycle from a capacitor that oscillated between 157 and 991 pF. The piezoelectric counterpart harnessed 1.6 to 29.6 mu W from weak periodic vibrations with 0.05-0.16-m/s(2) accelerations and 65.3 mu J from (impact-produced) nonperiodic motion.
