Abstract
This work is focused on the design approach to MEMS devices for the energy scavenge; two conversion strategies from vibrations to voltage are considered: electrostatic capacitive and piezoelectric. Main analytical relations for capacitive structures are derived and used for a quantitative estimation of the power scavenged with respect to the operation frequency and to eventual applications.
