ABSTRACT:
An integrated MEMS resonant generator system includes a substrate, a plurality of piezoelectric micro generators disposed on the substrate, the micro generators each generating a voltage output in response to vibrational energy received, and at least one power processor disposed on the substrate. The power processor electrically coupled to outputs of the plurality of micro generators. When the input conditions change, the power processor can dynamically adjust its switching functions to optimize the power delivered to a load or energy storage reservoir.
