Abstract
A rectifier for converting an alternating current input to a direct current output includes a low side comparator and a high side comparator connected between a common voltage source and a ground terminal. Amplifier gain is implemented between the gate and the drain on transistors used to implement the rectifier.
Claims6
A rectifier for converting an alternating current input to a direct current output, comprising:
- a low side comparator connected between a common voltage source and a ground terminal;
- a high side comparator connected between the common voltage source and the ground terminal;
- respective inverting input terminals and non-inverting input terminals connected to each of the low side comparator and the high side comparator;
- respective output transistors connected to the low side comparator and the high side comparator;
- respective amplifier circuits providing gain values to voltage signals between the respective drain terminals and gate terminals of the respective output transistors;
- at least one energy storage component connected to respective output terminals of the respective output transistors, wherein the energy storage component receives a rectified output from the respective output terminals.
