This paper introduces a new method of electricity generation using a Wiegand sensor. The Wiegand sensor consists of a magnetic wire and a pickup coil wound around it. This sensor gener-ates a pulse voltage of approximately 5 V and 20 µs width as an induced voltage in the pickup coil. The aim of this study is to generate a DC voltage of 5 V from the sensor, which is expected to be used as a power source in self-powered devices and battery-less modules. We report on the design and verification of a self-oscillating boost converter circuit in this paper. A DC voltage obtained by rectifying and smoothing the pulse voltage generated from the Wiegand sensor was boosted by the circuit. A stable DC output voltage in the order of 5 V for use as a power supply in electronics modules was successfully obtained. A quantitative analysis of the power generated by the Wiegand sensor revealed a suitable voltage–current range for application in self-powered devices and bat-tery-less modules.

Abstract
This paper introduces a new method of electricity generation using a Wiegand sensor. The Wiegand sensor consists of a magnetic wire and a pickup coil wound around it. This sensor gener-ates a pulse voltage of approximately 5 V and 20 µs width as an induced voltage in the pickup coil. The aim of this study is to generate a DC voltage of 5 V from the sensor, which is expected to be used as a power source in self-powered devices and battery-less modules. We report on the design and verification of a self-oscillating boost converter circuit in this paper. A DC voltage obtained by rectifying and smoothing the pulse voltage generated from the Wiegand sensor was boosted by the circuit. A stable DC output voltage in the order of 5 V for use as a power supply in electronics modules was successfully obtained. A quantitative analysis of the power generated by the Wiegand sensor revealed a suitable voltage–current range for application in self-powered devices and bat-tery-less modules.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
