一种无线传感节点用可重构全时段热电能量收集DC-DC转换器

A Reconfigurable Full Time Thermoelectric Energy Harvester DC-DC Converter for Wireless Sensor Nodes

  • 摘要: 为了提高无线传感节点续航提出了一种用于电池供电无线传感器节点的热电能量收集可重构DC-DC转换器。该转换器分为储能、轻载和叠加三种模式,实现不同输入功率和模式的重构从而自适应负载跳变维持输出电压稳定。新提出的叠加模式能够在重负载情况下收集热电能量,与轻负载情况结合实现全时段的能量收集。针对传统的DC-DC转换器输出纹波较大的问题,本文设计了模式切换电路与死区时间控制电路共同抑制输出电压纹波。为了使输出功率最大化,设计了最大功率跟踪电路来跟踪输入源内阻。同时,摒弃了常规的不连续导通模式(DCM)而采用临界导通模式(CRM),以减少导电损耗提高较高输入功率下的峰值转换效率。180 nm CMOS工艺仿真验证表明,输入功率范围为500 µW~8 mW,轻载模式下最高可达87.32%(VTEG=400 mV,RTEG=5 Ω)的端到端峰值转换效率,叠加模式供电时优先提取热电发电机的功率,重负载情况下最高可节省高达66%的电池功率,且重负载下1.1 V输出电压纹波小于20 mV,输出功率范围为50 µW~10 mW。

     

    Abstract: In order to improve the battery life of wireless sensor nodes, a thermoelectric energy harvesting reconfigurable DC-DC converter for battery powered wireless sensor nodes is proposed. The converter is divided into three modes: energy storage, light load and superposition, and realizes the reconstruction of different input power and modes to adapt to the load hopping. The newly proposed superposition mode can collect thermoelectric energy under heavy load and achieve full time energy collection in combination with light load. To solve the problem of large output ripple of traditional DC-DC converter, this paper designs a mode switching circuit and a dead-time control circuit to suppress output voltage ripple. In order to maximize the output power, the maximum power tracking circuit is designed to track the internal resistance of the input source. At the same time, the conventional discontinuous on-mode (DCM) is abandoned and the critical on-mode (CRM) is adopted to reduce the conduction loss and improve the peak conversion efficiency at higher input power. The 180 nm CMOS process simulation shows that the input power range is 500 µW~8 mW, and the maximum end-to-end peak conversion efficiency can reach 87.32% (VTEG=400 mV,RTEG=5 Ω) in light load mode. The power of the thermoelectric generator is extracted preferently when the power is supplied in superposition mode. Up to 66% of battery power can be saved under heavy loads, and the 1.1 V output voltage ripple is less than 20 mV under heavy loads, and the output power range is 50 µW to 10 mW.
