Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of rectifier circuits, and in particular to a wide-range high-sensitivity passive rectifier. Background Art

[0002] Wireless energy transmission or energy harvesting has a wide range of power supply application scenarios in medical electronic equipment, photothermal equipment, or solar equipment. How to design a wide-range, high-sensitivity, and high-efficiency rectifier is a key issue.

[0003] In recent years, a cross-coupling architecture based on auxiliary circuits has been proposed, which has been proven to effectively expand the dynamic range (DR).

[0004] In the related art, there are two main types of auxiliary circuits: one is based on a resistor feedback circuit, which connects the gate of the rectifier PMOS tube to the positive electrode of the rectifier output. A large resistor is connected between the two terminals to add additional DC output voltage to the gate of the rectifier PMOS tube; the other is a diode-based bilateral feedback circuit, which connects a diode-connected PMOS tube between the gate of the rectifier PMOS (NMOS) tube and the positive (negative) output of the rectifier to act as a controllable resistor and achieve bilateral dynamic DC voltage bias.

[0005] For the first method mentioned above, since the gate of the rectifier PMOS tube is always Static DC bias, to some extent, reduces (gate-source voltage); at low input power, the dominant forward conduction current is suppressed, resulting in reduced rectification efficiency; and as the input power continues to increase, the reverse leakage current increases significantly, The reverse leakage current suppression effect is Limitation, the rectification efficiency decreases, and the dynamic energy input range is low; for the second method mentioned above: under low input power, even if the feedback PMOS tube based on the diode connection has a higher resistance, adding the feedback loop to the bilateral rectifier tube will suppress the gate voltage of the rectifier tube too much, resulting in a lower forward conduction current and reduced sensitivity; as the input power increases further, the effect of the feedback loop on the rectifier PMOS tube side in suppressing the reverse leakage current weakens, which is obviously not as good as the effect of the feedback loop on the rectifier NMOS tube side.

[0006] In general, the above methods improve the rectifier efficiency at high input power, but the expanded dynamic range is limited; in addition, the rectification efficiency at low input power is suppressed, reducing the sensitivity of the rectifier. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 2 The wide range high sensitivity passive rectifier of the present invention is described.

[0020] Figure 1It is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the wide-range high-sensitivity passive rectifier provided by the present invention. The wide-range high-sensitivity passive rectifier can be a rectifier unit built into the photothermal device, including: a differential signal input terminal 110, a rectifier circuit 120 and a feedback bias circuit 130.

[0021] Two electrodes of the differential signal input terminal 110 are connected to at least one capacitor to filter out an AC voltage signal from the differential signal output from the differential signal input terminal 110 .

[0022] In this embodiment, the positive electrode of the differential signal input terminal 110 may be connected to one or more capacitors, and the negative electrode of the differential signal input terminal 110 may be connected to one or more capacitors.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the differential signal input terminal 110 is connected to multiple capacitors, the input capacitors at the positive and negative electrodes are used to extract the AC voltage signal from the input differential signal, and the other capacitors are used to achieve independent adjustment of the gate of the rectifier NMOS tube while reducing the impact on the rectifier input impedance.

[0024] In this embodiment, the number and specification parameters of the capacitors connected to the two electrodes of the differential signal input terminal 110 can be designed symmetrically. For example, the positive electrode of the differential signal input terminal 110 is connected to two identical or different capacitors A and B, and the negative electrode of the differential signal input terminal 110 is connected to capacitors A and B.

[0025] The rectifier circuit 120 includes a plurality of rectifier NMOS tubes and a plurality of rectifier PMOS tubes; the number of the plurality of rectifier NMOS tubes is the same as the number of the plurality of rectifier PMOS tubes. The substrates of the plurality of rectifier PMOS tubes are connected to the positive electrode of the rectifier output, and the substrates between the plurality of rectifier NMOS tubes are connected to the negative electrode of the rectifier output; the two poles of the differential signal input terminal 110 are respectively connected to the gate of the corresponding rectifier NMOS tube through at least one capacitor; the rectifier circuit is used to realize the conversion from AC voltage input to DC voltage output.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rectifier circuit 120 is used for full differential rectification to reduce the effective threshold voltage of the rectifier circuit.

[0027] In this embodiment, the substrates of the plurality of rectifying PMOS tubes include branches connected to the sources of the rectifying PMOS tubes, and the substrates of the plurality of rectifying NMOS tubes include branches connected to the sources of the rectifying NMOS tubes.

[0028] In this embodiment, the AC voltage signal is input to the gate of the rectifier NMOS tube through an independent capacitor, providing an independent AC branch for the rectifier NMOS tube.

[0029] The feedback bias circuit 130 includes a feedback PMOS tube 131, wherein the gate and drain of the feedback PMOS tube 131 are respectively connected to the gates of multiple rectifying NMOS tubes, and the substrate and source of the feedback PMOS tube 131 are both connected to the target end; the feedback PMOS tube 131 is used to control the highest gate voltage of the multiple rectifying NMOS tubes; wherein the target end includes a bias voltage output end or a negative electrode of a rectifier output; and the target voltage range is adjusted by the substrate voltage and the PN junction conduction voltage of the feedback PMOS tube.

[0030] In this embodiment, the substrate and source of the feedback PMOS tube 131 are connected to the feedback loop side, and the drain and gate are connected to the gate of the rectifying NMOS tube for voltage control.

[0031] In this embodiment, a feedback loop may be designed using a PMOS tube in a diode connection form to adjust the gate of the rectifier NMOS tube.

[0032] In this embodiment, the number of rectifying NMOS tubes is the same as the number of feedback PMOS tubes, that is, the drains and gates of different feedback PMOS tubes 131 are connected to the gates of different rectifying NMOS tubes, and the sources of all feedback PMOS tubes 131 are connected to the target end.

For high load impedance, it can suppress reverse current starting from a relatively low input power.

[0034] In this embodiment, at the gate node of the rectifier NMOS tube, there are three current loops, namely, the feedback loop, the AC loop and the gate current loop of the rectifier NMOS tube itself; according to Kirchhoff's current law, in a steady-state cycle, since the DC component of the AC loop is zero, the feedback loop current is directly determined by the gate current of the rectifier NMOS tube; since the magnitude of the gate current of the rectifier NMOS tube is very small, Level, and in the feedback loop, when the drain voltage of the feedback PMOS tube 131 is higher than the substrate voltage, the tube is equivalent to a PN junction and is in a reverse bias state. Once it is fully turned on, the exponentially increasing current magnitude is very large. Therefore, the limited gate current capacity will limit the gate voltage of the rectifier NMOS tube. At high input power, the maximum gate voltage of the rectifier NMOS tube is will be clamped at Nearby, among them, To feed back the substrate voltage of the PMOS tube 131, To feedback the PN junction conduction voltage of the PMOS tube 131; therefore, as the input power increases, the gate voltage of the rectifying NMOS tube will not increase accordingly, but will be clamped at a low voltage value; and at low input power, the maximum gate voltage of the rectifying NMOS tube can increase with the increase of input power, thereby reducing the equivalent threshold voltage of the rectifying NMOS tube; at high input power, the rectifying architecture based on the unilateral feedback loop of the rectifying NMOS tube can effectively suppress the reverse leakage current, thereby expanding the dynamic range; at low input power, the rectifying architecture based on the unilateral feedback loop of the rectifying NMOS tube can maintain the forward current, thereby improving the sensitivity.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rectifier architecture adopted in this embodiment is a passive rectifier, which does not require complex structures such as comparators. In addition, the number of MOS tubes set in the rectifier is small, and the tube parameter optimization is simple.
