    Abstract: A low-power receiver architecture of use in direct sequence spread spectrum communications system receivers, such as in a code division multiple access system, is provided. The receiver employs analog correlation, wherein its analog-digital, converters are able to operate at the system symbol rate, and the requirement for finite impulse response filters is obviated. The low-power receiver architecture is also applicable as a front-end structure for multiple-mode receivers.

    Abstract: A wireless power receiver includes a rectifier with first and second inputs coupled to first and second terminals of a receiver coil, and having a first output coupled to ground and a second output at which a rectified voltage is produced. A first switch is coupled between the second input and ground, and is controlled by a first gate voltage generated at a first node. A second switch is coupled between the first node and ground, and is controlled by a second gate voltage. The first gate voltage closes the first switch to couple the second input to ground when the rectified voltage is less than a threshold voltage, boosting the rectified voltage. The second gate voltage closes the second switch to cause the second gate voltage to be pulled to ground when the rectified voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, limiting the boosting of the rectified voltage.

    Abstract: A bridge rectifier and associated control circuitry collectively form a “regtifier” which rectifies an input time varying voltage and regulates the rectified output voltage produced without the use of a traditional voltage regulator. To accomplish this, the gate voltages of transistors of the bridge rectifier that are on during a given phase may be modulated via analog control (to increase the on-resistance of those transistors) or via pulse width modulation (to turn off those transistors prior to the end of the phase). The transistors of the bridge rectifier that would otherwise be off during a given phase may be turned on to help dissipate excess power and thereby regulate the output voltage. This modulation is based upon both a voltage feedback signal and a current feedback signal.

    Abstract: A wireless power-reception system has a bridge rectifier with two high-side and two low-side transistors, linked to input-nodes and sense-resistors. During a first phase, a control circuit activates certain transistors for rectification, producing an output voltage, while modulating a gate voltage of a non-activated low-side transistor to dissipate excess power and regulate the output voltage. During a first given number of occurrences of the first phase, the control circuit determines the current through the low-side transistor having its gate voltage modulated based upon a voltage across a first sense resistor coupled between that low-side transistor and ground. During a second given number of occurrences of the first phase, the control circuit determines the current delivered to the load based upon a voltage across the first sense resistor and a voltage across a second sense resistor coupled between the other low-side transistor and ground.
