description This paper presents a comprehensive summary of recent advances in circuit topologies for piezoelectric energy harvesting, leading to self-powered systems (SPSs), covering the full-bridge rectifier (FBR) and half-bridge rectifier (HBR), AC-DC converters, and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques. These approaches are analyzed with respect to their advantages, limitations, and overall impact on energy harvesting efficiency. Th work explores alternative methods that leverage phase shifting between voltage and current waveform components to enhance conversion performance. Additionally, it provides detailed insights into advanced design strategies, including adaptive power management algorithms, low-power control techniques, and complex impedance matching. The paper also addresses the fundamental principles and challenges of converting mechanical vibrations into electrical energy. Experimental results and performance metrics are reviewed, particularly in relation to hybrid approaches, load impedance, vibration frequency, and power conditioning requirements in energy harvesting systems. This review aims to provide researchers and engineers with a critical understanding of the current state of the art, key challenges, and emerging opportunities in piezoelectric energy harvesting. By examining recent developments, it offers valuable insights into optimizing interface circuit design for the development of efficient and self-sustaining piezoelectric energy harvesting systems.
