This paper presents a CMOS active rectifier with a time-domain technique to enhance power efficiency. A delay compensation circuit was designed using a time-domain technique. It converts the delay buffer’s delay time to a voltage value. The voltage is able to control on/off time in the comparator for variable input voltage. This circuit is designed in 0.18 m CMOS process. The input voltage range is from 2 V to 3.8 V with the output voltage from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. The efficiency can be maintained at more than 83% when the load is from 100 W to 1300 W for 3.3 V input voltage. The maximum efficiency is 90.3% at output power to be 109 mW for 3.3 V input voltage.
