Abstract
Implementations are disclosed for a power switching regulator defined to be used for power harvesting but is instead configured to include an additional power rail. A switching regulator includes a first contact defined as a first power input to the switching regulator (with the first contact coupled to a first power source), a second contact defined as a second power input to the switching regulator (with the second contact defined to be coupled to a harvester), and a third contact whose output is defined as a storage voltage for harvesting. Instead of the third contact being used for outputting a storage voltage for harvesting, the third contact is coupled to a voltage (VSTORE) power rail for providing power (that may be configurable) to one or more electronic components of the electronic device (such as a CPU to perform dynamic voltage scaling or by a power amplifier sensitive to power efficiency).
