We analyze the effects of faults on an energy-harvesting circuit (EHC) providing power to a wireless biomedical multisensor node. We show that such faults may prevent the EHC from producing the power supply voltage level required by the multisensor node. Then, we propose a low-cost (in terms of power consumption and area overhead) additional circuit monitoring the voltage level produced by the EHC...
