INPUT REGULATED DC TO DC CONVERTER FOR POWER SCAVENGING

摘要

A method of scavenging power in a circuit having a power source generating electric current includes connecting a power scavenging device having an input terminal pair and an output terminal pair to the circuit via the input terminal pair, dynamically regulating a voltage drop across the input terminal pair of the power scavenging device, harvesting electrical energy available at the regulated voltage drop from the electric current flowing through the first imputer terminal pair of the power scavenging device, and providing the harvested electrical energy at the output terminal pair of the power scavenging device.
