Fully-integrated low-voltage high-efficiency CMOS rectifier for wirelessly powered devices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present in this paper a new full-wave CMOS rectifier topology. It uses bootstrapped capacitors to reduce the effective threshold voltage of selected MOS switches. It achieves a significant increase in overall power efficiency and low voltage-drop. The structure does not require complex circuit design. The highest voltages available in the circuit are used to drive the gates of selected transistors in order to reduce the leakages and to lower their channel on-resistance, while having high transconductance. The proposed rectifier was implemented using the standard TSMC 0.18 mum CMOS process and then characterized with the SpectreS simulator. When connected to a source of 3.3 V nominal peak amplitude, it allows improving the power efficiency by 11%. For low source voltages (0.8 V peak), the average output voltage improvement is up to 210% over previously published results. The circuit was laid out and reported post-layout simulation results were found to be in good agreement with schematics-based simulations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
