A fully integrated 144 MHz wireless-power-receiver-on-chip with an adaptive buck-boost regulating rectifier and low-loss H-Tree signal distribution

Abstract

An adaptive buck-boost resonant regulating rectifier (B²R³) with an integrated on-chip coil and low-loss H-Tree power/signal distribution is presented for efficient and robust wireless power transfer (WPT) over a wide range of input and load conditions. The B²R³ integrated on a 9 mm² chip powers integrated neural interfacing circuits as a load, with a TX-load power conversion efficiency of 2.64 % at 10 mm distance, resulting in a WPT system efficiency FoM of 102.
