Abstract
One or more embodiments of a regulator circuit for providing power to a load device having a first power demand profile over time. The regulator circuit comprises a regulator and an energy storage device coupled to the regulator and the load device. The regulator circuit is configured to scavenge provided energy that is available beyond the first power demand profile. Further, the regulator circuit is configured to store that energy in the energy storage device, and the energy storage device is configured to augment deliverable peak power to the load device when the load device requires more power than is provided by the regulator circuit.
