The proposed circuit intends for an electromagnetic generator to harvest kinetic energy. A synchronous split-capacitor boost converter operating in boundary conduction mode (BCM) is proposed to efficiently convert the AC input to a DC output. BCM operation is uniquely achieved through zero current detection (ZCD) control of an AC input enabling impedance matching. The ZCD control offers simplicity over previously reported methodologies. To reduce power consumption and increase efficiency, the proposed circuit topology combines the rectifier and power stage while dynamically controlling the power stage. The proposed circuit is designed and laid out in 0.13 μm BiCMOS technology. Post layout simulations verify the operation of the proposed circuit.
