| Abstract | This research is focused on developing mm-scale power converters for emerging autonomous microsystem applications. Initial modeling shows that miniaturizing high boost voltage converters could enable higher net efficiency in robotics at the gram-scale. Therefore, this paper highlights progress in high voltage CMOS converter topologies, high performance air-core MEMS inductors, and novel work on nanoparticle-based passives (capacitors & inductors) using a fluidic self assembly delivery system. |
