## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to a full-wave rectifying device. More specifically this invention relates to a transistor full-wave rectifying device.
2. Description of Related Art:
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) System is an automatic identification method that involves affixing a small electronic tag to a product which may be checked and monitored by a device known as “reader” which in turn transmits the data stored in the electronic tag back to the system via a wireless RF means, thus achieving remote authentication, tracking, control, management and handling.
The electronic tags are categorized into two general varieties, passive and active. In particular, passive RFID tags have no internal power supply. The minute electrical current induced in the antenna by the incoming radio-frequency (RF) signal provides just enough power for the CMOS integrated circuit in the tag to power up and transmit a response.
Generally, the amplitude of the RF signal is approximately 200 mV or lower, and it is not easy to power up passive RFID tags with such a weak signal. Moreover, current leakage or parasitic effect often occurs in electrical circuits, thereby causing the RF signal energy to be further dissipated.
Consequently, a rectifier is designed such that, upon receiving the RF signal by the antenna of passive RFID tags, the capacitors are charged repeatedly, thereby converting the RF signal to a sufficient dc voltage level for the next stage of circuit operation.
Referring to FIG. 1, the first conventional full-wave rectifying circuit structure is shown. The full-wave rectifying circuit has eight transistors, P1-P6, N1 and N2. Such a circuit structure lowers the transistor body effect, thus improving the efficiency of converting the RF signal to a dc voltage.
However, such a circuit structure is only a single-stage rectifying circuit, which produces the dc voltage output that is approximately the amplitude of the RF signal only. Even under the circumstance of 100% conversion efficiency, such a circuit structure usually fails to provide a sufficient dc voltage level.
Referring to FIG. 2, another conventional full wave rectifying circuit structure is illustrated. Diode-connected transistor instead of Schottky diode is used in the cascade of a multistage rectifying circuit, thereby deriving a sufficient dc voltage level given a specified input power.
However, the chip manufacturing process of such a circuit structure does not take into account the importance of separate bulk connection which suppresses the body effect. Hence, such a circuit may be affected by the body effect, thus causing a significant difference in the threshold voltage of the transistor at each stage. Consequently, the output voltage level is lowered and the circuit fails to output a dc voltage level that matches the designed value.
In summary, it has become an urgent issue to designers of the RF circuit design field to propose a multistage full-wave rectifying circuit that not only provides a sufficient dc voltage level, but also avoids or lowers the body effect such that the difference in the threshold voltage of the transistor at each stage is reduced to minimum, in order for the circuit successfully to output a dc voltage level that matches the designed value.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the above disadvantages of the conventional techniques, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a full-wave rectifying device that supplies a sufficient dc voltage level and avoids or lowers the body effect such that the difference in the threshold voltage of the transistor at each stage is reduced to minimum, in order for the circuit successfully to output a dc voltage level that matches the designed value.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention provides a full-wave rectifying device that has a first rectification unit having a first transistor and a second transistor, a second rectification unit having a third transistor and a fourth transistor, and a plurality of capacitors. In particular, the source of each transistor is connected to the substrate and the drain is connected to the gate; by connecting the source of the transistor to the substrate, the body effect in the rectifying circuit is effectively lowered.
In addition, the first transistor is connected in series with the second transistor, between which a capacitor is connected. The third transistor is connected in series with the fourth transistor, between which a capacitor is connected. Furthermore, the first rectification unit is connected to the second rectification unit to form a symmetrical full-wave rectifying circuit.
Finally, the symmetrical full-wave rectifying circuit is connected to a signal input unit, a ground terminal and a load, thereby allowing the signal input unit to receive the RF signal fed from the external environment. The first rectification unit and the second rectification unit in turn convert the RF signal to a rectified dc voltage level.
In order to achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides another full-wave rectification device, which has a first rectification module, a second rectification module and a plurality of capacitors. In particular, the first rectification module includes two first rectification units, and each of the first rectification unit further includes a first transistor and a second transistor. As well, the second rectification module has two second rectification units, and each of the second rectification units further includes a third transistor and a fourth transistor. In addition, the source of each of the transistors is connected to the substrate, and the drain is connected to the gate. Hence, the body effect in the rectifying circuit is effectively lowered by employing the method of connecting the source of the transistor to its substrate.
Also, the first transistor of each of the first rectification units is cascaded with the second transistor between which a capacitor is connected. As well, the third transistor of each of the second rectification units is cascaded with the fourth transistor between which a capacitor is connected.
Subsequently, the first first rectification unit is connected to the second first rectification unit to form a first rectification module; similarly, the first second rectification unit is connected to the second second rectification unit to form a second rectification module. Furthermore, the first rectification module is connected to the second rectification module to form a symmetrical two-stage full-wave rectifying circuit.
Finally, the symmetrical two-stage full wave rectifying circuit is connected to a signal input unit, a ground terminal and a load, thereby allowing the signal input unit to receive the RF signal fed from the external environment. The first rectification module and the second rectification module in turn convert the RF signal to a rectified dc voltage level.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention also provides another full-wave rectifier, which includes a first rectification module, a second rectification module and a plurality of capacitors. In particular, the first rectification module has a plurality of first rectification units, and each of the first rectification unit further includes a first transistor and a second transistor. As well, the second rectification module has a plurality of second rectification units, and each of the second rectification units further includes a third transistor and a fourth transistor. In addition, the source of each of the transistors is connected to the substrate and the drain is connected to the gate. The body effect in the rectifying circuit is effectively lowered by employing the method of connecting the source of the transistor to its substrate.
Also, the first transistor of each of the first rectification units is cascaded with the second transistor between which a capacitor is connected. As well, the third transistor of each of the second rectification units is cascaded with the fourth transistor between which a capacitor is connected.
Subsequently, the (N−1)st first rectification unit is connected to the Nth first rectification unit to form a first rectification module; similarly, the (N−1)st second rectification unit is connected to the Nth second rectification unit to form a second rectification module. Furthermore, the first rectification module is connected to the second rectification module to form a symmetrical N-stage full-wave rectifying circuit.
Finally, the symmetrical N-stage full-wave rectifying circuit is connected to a signal input unit, a ground terminal and a load, thereby allowing the signal input unit to receive the RF signal fed from the external environment. The first rectification module and the second rectification module in turn convert the RF signal to a rectified dc voltage level.
In summary, the full-wave rectifying device of the present invention employs the method of connecting the source of each transistor to the substrate in order to effectively lower the body effect in the rectifying circuit. Next, a plurality of capacitors are used to generate a rectified dc voltage level. Besides the present invention also discloses a multistage rectifying circuit design that employs a plurality of first rectification units and a plurality of second rectification units, so as to increase the rectified dc voltage level to a sufficient level.
As a result, the above-mentioned multistage full-wave rectifying circuit designed using transistors not only lowers the body effect of transistors in the conventional rectifier, but also significantly increases the rectified dc voltage level to a level that matches the designed value.
