Abstract

In this paper, a wide-input range CMOS multi-mode rectifier for wireless power transfer system is presented. The output voltage of multi-mode rectifier is sensed by comparator and switches are controlled based on it. The mode of multi-mode rectifier is automatically selected by the switches among full-wave rectifier, 1-stage voltage multiplier and 2-stage voltage multiplier. In full-wave rectifier mode, the rectified output DC voltage ranges from 9 V to 19 V for a input AC voltage from 10 V to 20 V. However, the input-range of the multi-mode rectifier is more improved than that of the conventional full-wave rectifier by 5V, so the rectified output DC voltage ranges from 7.5 V to 19 V for a input AC voltage from 5 V to 20 V. The power conversion efficiency of the multi-mode rectifier is 94 % in full-wave rectifier mode. The proposed multi-mode rectifier is fabricated in a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process with an active area of $2500{\mu}m{\times}1750{\mu}m$.

본 논문에서는 무선전력전송 시스템 수신부의 넓은 입력 범위의 CMOS 다중 모드 정류기를 설계하였다. 다중 모드 정류기의 출력전압을 비교기로 감지하고, 스위치를 컨트롤 하여 정류기 모드를 전환한다. 다중 모드 정류기는 입력 전압의 크기에 따라 자동으로 전파 정류기, 1단 전압 체배기, 2단 전압 체배기로 동작한다. 일반적인 전파 정류기는 10 V에서 20 V까지의 입력 AC 전압에 대해 9 V에서 19 V까지의 출력 DC 전압을 생성할 수 있다. 다중 모드 정류기는 전파 정류기 보다 입력 범위를 5 V 향상시켜서 5 V에서 20 V까지의 입력 AC 전압에 대해 출력 DC 전압은 7.5 V에서 19 V까지 생성되는 것을 보여준다. 다중 모드 정류기의 효율은 전파 정류기 모드에서 94%이다. 제안하는 다중 모드 정류기는 0.35${\mu}m$ BCD 공정으로 설계되었고, 면적은 $2500{\mu}m{\times}1750{\mu}m$ 이다.
