hi, the idea that I was thinking of is that

if i have a piezoceramic being pressed in typing motion, also a small solar panel like that in calculators and a magnet passing through a coil,

will I be able to combine all of their parasitic output by connecting all of them and serve as the input to this IC which has a pin for V+ and another for V-? or do I have to have 3 of these ICs for me to combine them?

The IC is the LTC3588-1 from Linear Tech which is somewhat a complete solution from ac to dc, dc to dc and capacitor storage of low energy
