An efficient synchronous active rectifier and Multi Feedback low drop out (LDO) Regulator coupled with a wireless power receiver (WPR) is proposed in this study. An active rectifier with maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 94.2% is proposed to mitigate the reverse leakage current using zero current sensing. Output voltage and current are regulated by multi-feedback LDO regulator, sharing the single path transistor. The proposed chip is fabricated in the 0.18 μm BCD technology having die area of 16.0 mm2. A 94.2% power conversion efficiency with the load current of 800 mA is measured for the proposed active rectifier.
