Abstract
A CMOS dual output current mode half-wave rectifier is presented. The proposed rectifier is composed of three main components: a dual output V–I converter, two half-wave current rectifiers and two I–V converters. A voltage input signal is changed into two current signals by the V–I converter. The current rectifiers rectify these current signals, resulting in positive and negative half-wave current signals that are converted to positive and negative half-wave voltage signals by the I–V converters. The theory of operation is described, and the simulated results obtained from the PSPICE program are used to verify the theoretical prediction. Simulated rectifier performance with a 0.5µm MOSFET model using 1.2V supply voltage demonstrates good rectifier integrity at operating frequencies up to 100MHz.
