    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.
