    Abstract: An active electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter includes an amplifier configured to sense noise signals on a power conductor, and drive a cancellation signal onto the power conductor. The cancellation signal is to reduce the amplitude of the noise signals. Some embodiments of the active EMI filter include a high frequency compensation network that improves the high frequency phase margin of the active EMI filter and improves the stability of the active EMI filter at high frequencies. Some embodiments of the active EMI filter include a low frequency compensation capacitor that increases the phase margin of the active EMI filter at low frequencies. Some embodiments of the active EMI filter include low frequency compensation circuitry that increases the low frequency tolerance of the active EMI filter.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a transformer configured with a primary winding and a secondary winding that are driven from a voltage supplied by a thermoelectric generator (TEG). The circuit includes a bipolar startup stage (BSS) coupled to the transformer to generate an intermediate voltage. The BSS includes a first transistor device coupled in series with the primary winding of the transformer to form an oscillator circuit with an inductance of the secondary winding when the voltage supplied by the TEG is positive. A second transistor device coupled to the secondary winding of the transformer enables the oscillator circuit to oscillate when the voltage supplied by the TEG is negative. After startup, a flyback converter stage can be enabled from the intermediate voltage to generate a boosted regulated output voltage.

    Abstract: Piezoelectric harvesting devices are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a harvesting device includes a cantilever having a resonant frequency associated therewith, wherein the cantilever vibrates when in the presence of a vibration source, and wherein the harvesting device generates a current upon vibration of the cantilever. The generated current is present at an output. A bias flip circuit is used to tune the resonant frequency of the harvesting device based on measurements of the vibration source that causes the cantilever to vibrate, wherein the bias flip circuit includes a switch that connects and disconnects an inductor to the output.

    Abstract: A method includes charging a capacitor of a power inverter to a direct current (DC) input voltage from an input terminal of the power inverter. The capacitor has first and second terminals. The method also includes providing a first voltage at an output terminal of the power inverter at a first time by controlling one of either: an output switch that selectively couples the output terminal to either the first terminal or the second terminal; or a set of input switches that selectively couple the first and second terminals to either the input terminal or a ground terminal. The method further includes providing a second voltage at the output terminal at a second time by controlling the other of the output switch or the set of input switches.
