Preface
The world we live in today faces two fundamental challenges: the need to search for renewable energy sources as replacements for depleting fossil fuels, and the urgent necessity to reduce green house gas emissions that are currently threatening the sustainability of the common and only habitat of human beings – the earth – through global warming. With wind and solar energy harvesting still facing major hurdles in consistency and reliability, and the safety of nuclear energy production called into serious questions after the tragic Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, improving energy efficiencies in all aspects is identified as probably the most effective way to alleviate both crises in the short term. Parallel to the energy and environmental crises at the megawatt level, the consumer electronics industry is experiencing a similar but miliwatt level energy crisis of its own. Consumers appreciate the multimedia and connectivity a portable device can provide, but continue to demand more functionality, versatility, and most importantly longer battery runtime in the same compact size. Although there has been great progress in developing low cost, high energy density battery technologies, enhancing the energy efficiency of the electronic circuits and systems
