The competitive features of the proposed structure compared with other state-of-the-art circuits are the capability for working under LV supply, with extended common mode voltage range and improved input transconductance. The proposed circuit was designed, simulated, and fabricated employing the Cadence platform and MOS transistors models provided by the 0.35 $$\upmu $$ μ m CMOS AMIS process. The total chip area was 213 $$\times $$ × 266 $$\upmu \mathrm{{m}}^2$$ μ m 2 . The provided simulation and experimental results prove the attractive performances of the proposed rectifier topology.
