| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To utilize the environmental energy (EE) extremely, an energy harvesting (EH) circuit techniques were pursued and following results were obtained. (i) An EH CMOS circuit that can convert a weak radio frequency energy to electric power was clarified and its validity was confirmed by fabricating the circuit with a 0.18-um CMOS technology. (ii) In order to charge energy harvested to a storage battery, a high-voltage output dc-dc up-converter is required. A dc-dc up-converter with the COMS technology was studied and the circuit that can output a high voltage exceeding transistor’s breakdown voltage was invented. (iii) An energy generation tree system (EGTS) that is integrated with different kinds of the energy harvesters was suggested to utilize the EE extremely. (iv) Autonomous distributed system controlling technique was clarified for the generic tree energy management. (v) And to implement the EGTS, the circuit and system design environment was built with the circuit simulator, SPICE.
