Abstract

A low-voltage and low-power current mode rectifier based on dynamic threshold MOS (DTMOS) transistor is proposed in this paper. The suggested one input–two output rectifier architecture provides full-wave rectification and half-wave rectification. Full-wave rectifier consists of only 6 MOS transistors (excluding 1 MOS transistor in half-wave rectifier part) and is designed without the necessity of using active and passive circuit elements. The proposed rectifier design is simulated using 0.13 µm IBM CMOS technology parameters. The full-wave rectifier circuit requires ± 0.25 V of supply voltages and consumes only 4.36 nW thanks to employing DTMOS transistor structure.
