| Abstract: | In this paper, voltage rectifier circuit with voltage doubler using new Active Diode (AD) is proposed for battery less biological signal measurement system using smartphone. Firstly, we propose the new AD which consists of AD core circuit and Bulk Regulation Transistor (BRT). The advantage of proposed AD (ADB) is insensitive to the threshold voltage of MOSFETs and very useful for low power and low voltage operation. Next, the voltage rectifier circuit with voltage doubler using the ADB is presented. Thanks to the good performance of the ADB, the designed rectifier could operate as theory by only the sin waves from the earphone terminal of smartphone. The ADB were fabricated actually using 1-P 3-M 0.6- m CMOS process. The detailed simulation and measurement results are reported in this paper. |
