Synthesizable Integrated Circuit and System Design for Solar Chargers

In this paper, an automatic design tool for a solar energy harvesting IC and system is developed with visual basic software, and the synthesis tool employed in this approach can be used to shorten the design time to market. In addition, a smart meter system is developed to measure the solar energy harvesting system's information with an online system. Users can thus get the proposed system's information at any time and from anywhere. Finally, good agreement has been found between the analytic and experimental results.
