A High Efficiency Active Rectifier for 6.78MHz Wireless Power Transfer Receiver with Bootstrapping Technique and All Digital Delay-Locked Loop

Abstract

This paper presents a new rectifier with a bootstrapping technique to reduce the effective drop voltage. An all-digital delay locked loop (ADDLL) circuit was also applied to prevent the reverse leakage current. The proposed rectifier uses NMOS diode connected instead of PMOS to reduce the design size and improve the frequency respond. All the sub-circuits of ADDLL were designed with low power consumption to reduce the total power of the rectifier. The rectifier was implemented in CMOS 0.35 μm technology. The peak power conversion efficiency was 76 % at an input frequency of 6.78MHz and a power level of 5W.
