Medlay: A Reconfigurable Micro-Power Management to Investigate Self-Powered Systems.In self-powered microsystems, a power management is essential to extract, transfer and regulate power from energy harvesting sources to loads such as sensors.  The purpose of this paper is to streamline the design process by creating a novel reconfigurable testbed called Medlay.  Medlay is the ready-to-use and open-hardware platform based on the interface.  Measurements confirm that Medlay represents a system on one circuit board, as parasitic effects of the interconnections are negligible.  In conclusion, Medlay facilitates building and testing power management in a very compact, clear and extensible fashion.
