This paper presents design and measurement results of a DC–DC converter, intended to harvest energy from a thermo-electric generator (TEG). The prototype chip was fabricated in 130[Formula: see text]nm CMOS technology. The designed converter can extract maximum power from a TEG, without using an input capacitor ([Formula: see text] or a closed loop maximum peak power tracking circuit to regulate the input voltage ([Formula: see text]. The converter uses a low voltage oscillator coupled with charge pump to directly power the auxiliary circuits; and auxiliary circuits drives two inductors in two half cycles of a clock pulse. The measurement has been performed by using a TEG, and a voltage source (50–200[Formula: see text]mV) with a series resistance of 5[Formula: see text]ohms. The result shows that the prototype can self-starts from 70[Formula: see text]mV with 5[Formula: see text]ms startup time and can work up to a minimum of 50[Formula: see text]mV; and can extract, 57.2% (at 50[Formula: see text]mV) to 65% (at 200[Formula: see text]mV), of the available power.

System Parameters

A heat-driven self-cooling system could potentially utilize the heat dissipated from a device to power a thermo-electric generator (TEG) which could then provide power to run a cooling system. In this paper, numerical simulation and parametric analysis of the geometrical parameters (such as fin density and height) and system parameters are conducted to better understand the performance of the self-cooling system within wide ranges. The study showed further decrease in device temperature could be achieved by using shunt operation instead of direct contact between the device and the TEG module. The use of TEG cascades could also help improve the decrease in power generation as a result of shunt arrangement.
