Abstract:
6.78 MHz highly resonant wireless power receivers based on the AirFuel(TM) standard experience high rectifier losses when using Schottky diodes and can fail to meet the thermal limit requirements for many products such as laptops. This work introduces a rectifier based on a synchronous switch eGaN FET in a class E topology for use in 30 W highly resonant wireless power receivers. Results show that the proposed class E rectifier achieved 20% lower loss in system power stage and higher system efficiency compared to a Schottky diode full-bridge rectifier.
