Abstract: A voltage comparator circuit for a power source having an energy harvester and an energy storage. The circuit comprises a first voltage input node and a second voltage input node arranged to respectively receive a first voltage level of a first output of the energy harvester and a voltage level of a second output of the energy storage; an output node arranged to switch in response to a comparison of the first and second first voltage levels; and a plurality of semiconductor junction devices arranged to provide a floating local ground arranged to vary in response to a change of the first and/or the second voltage level, wherein the floating local ground has a voltage level higher than an absolute ground connected to the voltage comparator circuit; wherein the floating local ground is arranged to prevent a breakdown of circuit components due to a voltage difference connected at terminals of each of the circuit component exceeding a breakdown voltage of the respective circuit component.
