  • Abstract
    This paper describes recent advancements in low power circuit design and energy harvesting that will help lead to the autonomous operation of microscale autonomous sensing platforms. Low power circuit techniques for sensor interfaces and RF communication are explored. We introduce a 1 cm3 thermoelectric energy harvester and present measured results.
