METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT HAVING INTEGRATED ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

Methods and apparatus for a sensor to provide a sensor output, an integrated circuit module formed at least partially on a substrate to receive the sensor output and provide an IC output signal, an output circuit having a voltage input to receive a voltage supply signal via a switch element and a signal input to receive the IC output signal and an output to provide a voltage output signal, and an integrated power storage element coupled to the voltage input of the output circuit to provide power during an interruption of the voltage supply signal, wherein the power storage element includes at least one layer generally parallel to the substrate.
