5. EXPERIMENT RESULTS
Before conducting the experiment, a systematic procedure is followed to prepare the proposed
circuit in real time. Chapter 3 dealt with the desired analysis of various components needed for the
proposed circuit. Based on these results all the necessary components which are required for the
hardware design is listed and are ordered from the available vendors. Also, the eagle layout of the
proposed circuit has been prepared and ordered with the appropriate component footprints. Once
the PCB footprint and components are ready, corresponding components has been placed and
soldered on the PCB. In the next step the prepared hardware circuit is verified against the soldering
errors and finally the experiment is conducted. Figure shows the steps involved in preparing the
hardware.

Step 1: DC source positive terminal is connected to the input positive pin (Green wire in figure 55)
and negative is connected to the next pin (black wire in figure 55).
Step 2: By verifying all the configurations, when VINA SWA and VINB SWB are connected
then the start-up voltage is minimum. So that configuration is selected and connections are made.
Step 3: For selectable output the suitable connections made by varying VS1 and VS2 pins as
already discussed in table 3.
Step 4: set the resistance value to 50 KΩ and Cout= 10µF, Cstore= 470 µF.
Step 5: Power on the power supply and vary the input from 25 mV to 100 mV (as per our design).
Verify the start-up voltage for all the configurations.
Step 6: Change the ROUT value to 10 Ω and repeat the same procedure for all the configurations
to check the start-up voltage and efficiency.

Figure 55 shows the variation of output voltage with respect to input voltage. From the figure it is
clear that the start- up voltage for both the variations of output resistance is 40 mV which is
acceptable. As it is not giving any variation of output when the output resistance is changed the
graph variations for Rout 50 KΩ are shown in the below figures.
Figure 56 shows the output power levels of the 2.3 V of the unipolar configuration. After reaching
the maximum voltage of output the consumption of the power remained constant.

Figure 57 shows the output current vs input voltage. The output current is settled after reaching the
maximum output voltage of 2.3 V.
Figure 58 shows the efficiency graph. If we observe the graph it is clear that at lower input voltages
the efficiency is increasing and at higher input voltages the efficiency decreases. The highest
efficiency obtained is 21% at 40 mV of input voltage.

The minimum start-up voltage after applying cold start voltage is 80 mV. The output is oscillating.
Connecting a battery at Vbat might stabilize the output voltage. Input current is limited to 100 mA.
The efficiency is high at lower input voltages. The operating voltage is from 80 mV to 150 mV.
