Abstract
An integrated self-sustainable power supply includes a piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) beam, a power management unit (PMU) circuit located on the PEH beam, a rechargeable battery located on the PEH beam, and a positive regulated power supply output and a negative regulated power supply output. The PMU circuit includes electrical inputs/outputs. The rechargeable battery includes a negative access pad and a positive access pad, which are in electrical communication with the electrical inputs/outputs of the PMU circuit. The positive regulated power supply output and the negative regulated power supply output are also in electrical communication with the electrical inputs/outputs of the PMU circuit.
