A New Current-Controlled-Power Technique for Small Signal Applications

摘要

In this paper, a new current-controlled-power technique for small signal applications is presented. The proposed technique needs no passive devices (a resistor and a capacitor) but the well-known SCR technique needs, thus the proposed technique is very suitable for an IC process. An example application as a new current-controlled-power CMOS full-wave rectifier is also given. The example application is simulated by using the SPICE program. Simulation results show that the proposed technique can work well; the controlled-current from 0 uA to 5.5 uA produces the peak area amplitude from 100 mV to 0 mV to the load.
