    摘要: A microelectronic device includes: a photovoltaic module configured to convert a light energy into an electric energy; a converter configured to convert a voltage output from the photovoltaic module into a predetermined voltage; a capacitor configured to store an electric energy transferred from the converter; and a controller configured to predict an available current of a next time slot based on the electric energy stored in the capacitor, and determine a consumed current of a load system of the next time slot based on the predicted available current.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for tracking maximum power are disclosed. The apparatus is configured to track a maximum power at a certain node of an electronic circuit, adjust an impedance of the electronic circuit such that power at the node is maximal, and adjust an impedance of the electronic circuit by comparing power at two points in time to increase power. The apparatus for tracking a maximum power, includes a charge sharing capacitor connected to an initial capacitor in parallel, a first switch disposed between the initial capacitor and an energy harvesting power supply, a second switch disposed between the initial capacitor and the charge sharing capacitor, a third switch disposed between the energy harvesting power supply and a comparator, and a switched-capacitor power converting circuit configured to control the initial capacitor.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus to remove a noise from an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor signal are provided. A noise removing method includes: receiving a sensor signal collected by an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor; extracting an ECG estimation signal from the sensor signal based on a peak value of the sensor signal; determining a first comparison value between the ECG estimation signal and a first reference signal indicating an average form of ECG signals; and classifying the ECG estimation signal as one of an ECG signal and a noise by comparing the first comparison value to a first threshold value.
