Abstract
A sensor node with system power tuning is presented for 5-order-of-magnitude adaptation to harvested power. Coordinated tuning of unified voltage/capacitive/light sensor interface, MCU and direct MPPT with no intermediate power conversion scales system power to 3.1nW at 0.3V. Operation at 1lux (moonlight) with 4.1×4.1mm2 light harvester is shown.
