The piezoelectric energy harvester can provide continuous power supply to low-power sensor nodes after rectification through an interface circuit. However, conventional diode-based rectifier circuits suffer from high conduction voltage drops and switching losses, which can lead to startup failure under weak vibration conditions. Moreover, some high-efficiency interface circuit designs rely on external auxiliary power sources, limiting their applicability in practical scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes a self-powered parallel synchronized switch harvesting on inductor circuit based on synergistic rectification using diodes and MOSFETs (DM-PSSHI). The interface circuit facilitates bidirectional low-loss conduction by integrating MOSFETs and diodes, concurrently achieving low-voltage startup of the rectification module. Additionally, a self-powered peak detection (PKD) switch is employed, eliminating the need for an external bias source. The single-inductor design further reduces circuit complexity and enhances integration potential. Under 21.6 Hz excitation and a 100 kΩ load, the DM-PSSHI circuit outputs 1.68 mW, achieving 2.12 times the power of the standard energy harvesting (SEH) circuit. This significantly enhances the output power of the piezoelectric energy harvesting system.

摘要

The piezoelectric energy harvester can provide continuous power supply to low-power sensor nodes after rectification through an interface circuit. However, conventional diode-based rectifier circuits suffer from high conduction voltage drops and switching losses, which can lead to startup failure under weak vibration conditions. Moreover, some high-efficiency interface circuit designs rely on external auxiliary power sources, limiting their applicability in practical scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes a self-powered parallel synchronized switch harvesting on inductor circuit based on synergistic rectification using diodes and MOSFETs (DM-PSSHI). The interface circuit facilitates bidirectional low-loss conduction by integrating MOSFETs and diodes, concurrently achieving low-voltage startup of the rectification module. Additionally, a self-powered peak detection (PKD) switch is employed, eliminating the need for an external bias source. The single-inductor design further reduces circuit complexity and enhances integration potential. Under 21.6 Hz excitation and a 100 kΩ load, the DM-PSSHI circuit outputs 1.68 mW, achieving 2.12 times the power of the standard energy harvesting (SEH) circuit. This significantly enhances the output power of the piezoelectric energy harvesting system.
