    Extremely low-voltage charge pump (ELV-CP) and its dedicated multi-stage driver (MS-DRV) for sub-60-mV thermoelectric energy harvesting are proposed. The proposed MS-DRV utilizes the output voltages of each ELV-CP to efficiently boost the control clock signals. The boosted clock signals are used as switching signals for each ELV-CP and MS-DRV to turn switch transistors on and off. Moreover, reset transistors are added to the MS-DRV to ensure an adequate non-overlapping period between switching signals. Measurement results demonstrated that the proposed MS-DRV can generate boosted clock signals of 350 mV from input voltage of 60 mV. The ELV-CP can boost the input voltage of 100 mV with 10.7% peak efficiency. The proposed ELV-CP and MS-DRV can boost the low input voltage of 56 mV.
