Abstract

This paper presents a rectifier with comparator using unbalanced body biasing in $0.11{\mu}m$ RF CMOS process. It is composed of MOSFETs and two comparators. The comparator is used to reduce reverse leakage current which occurs when the load voltage is higher than input voltage. For the comparator, unbalanced body biasing is devised. By using unbalanced body biasing, reference voltage for comparator changing from high state to low state is increased, and it reduces time interval for leakage current to flow. 13.56 MHz 2 Vpp signal is used for input and $1k{\Omega}$ resistor and 1 nF capacitor are used for output load for simulation and experimental environment. In simulation environment, voltage conversion efficiency(VCE) is 87.5 % and Power conversion efficiency(PCE) is 50 %. When the rectifier is measured, VCE shows 90.203 % and PCE shows 45 %.

이 논문은 $0.11{\mu}m$ RF CMOS 공정에서 비대칭 몸체 바이어싱을 적용한 비교기를 사용한 정류기를 제안한다. 제안하는 정류기는 MOSFET와 두 개의 비교기로 이루어져 있다. 이 비교기는 부하 전압이 입력 전압보다 높을 때 생기는 역방향 누설 전류를 줄이는 데 사용한다. 비대칭 몸체 바이어싱을 사용함으로써 비교기의 High에서 Low 상태로 바꾸는 기준 전압을 높이고, 누설 전류가 흐르는 시간을 줄인다. 13.56 MHz의 2 Vpp 교류전압을 입력하고, $1k{\Omega}$의 저항과 1 nF의 커패시터를 부하에 연결한 환경에서 측정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 전압 변환 효율은 87.5 %, 전력 변환 효율은 45 %이고, 측정한 전압 변환 효율은 85.215 %, 전력 변환 효율은 50 %이다.
