Implementation of a Capless-LdIn An Energy Harvesting Chain for Aircraft Applications

This paper deals with a power recovery system to reduce cabling mass, focused on development of a power conversion chain to harvest energy from Data lines, that is used eventually to supply the aircraft sensors or wireless monitoring, this proposed harvests energy interface from data CAN bus without disturbing the data transmission. The solution includes a fast energy-harvesting Chain, which is composed by fast analog schemes that based on a fully integrated LDO, to make the aircraft sensors self-powered. The regulation system of the power management block is designed in 180 nm CMOS technology. The simulation results prove the advantage of the proposed architecture.
