In this paper, a fully integrated active rectifier with triple feedback loops is proposed to enhance power conversion efficiency (PCE) over wide loading range by calibrating both the gate transition timing and switch size. The on- off-transitions of switches are calibrated using hybrid delay-based control circuit (HDGCC) loops. Conventional rectifiers that only focused on NMOS fixed size exhibit low PCE when condition deviates from predetermined range. Thus, an automatic selector based third...
