To the control of the floating boom of floating gate fet M71 and M72 be described below.Figure 12 is the flow chart of the control of floating boom.At first detect the electric weight (amount of charge) (step S101) on each floating boom of floating gate fet M71 and M72.Figure 13 is the flow chart of electric weight testing process.The control circuit 210 of this rectifier circuit 200 sent to control signal each control circuit 225 of dc voltage source 220a to 220c before detecting electric weight.This control signal represents to be used to switch to current detecting pattern and the request (step S201 to S203) of setting the voltage value of giving each variable voltage source 224.In addition, the control circuit 210 of rectifier circuit 200 is opened switch SW 1 to SW3 (step S204).
Figure 14 is the operational flowchart in the current detecting pattern in dc voltage source 220.The control signal that the control circuit 225 in dc voltage source 220 receives from the control circuit 210 of rectifier circuit 200 switches to the current detecting pattern with switch SW 200, and this voltage is set to variable voltage source 224 (step S402).For example, in order to detect the electric weight on the floating boom of floating gate fet M71, the variable voltage source 224 of this dc voltage source 220a is set at 1 volt, and the variable voltage source 224 of this dc voltage source 220b is set at zero volt.Then, measure current values (step S403) with the ammeter 223 in each dc voltage source 220.In fact this current values is measured after step S204.
The control circuit 210 of rectifier circuit 200 is received in each current value of measuring among dc voltage source 220a, 220b and the 220c, calculates the voltage V corresponding with electric weight from each current value c(step S205), and off switch SW1 to SW3 (step S206).
Afterwards, control circuit 210 definite voltage V that calculated cBe not less than threshold level V Th(step S102).For this is determined, voltage on the same source electrode that must will be applied to floating gate fet with the embodiment of above-mentioned setting voltage is set at and is higher than the level that is applied to the voltage in the drain electrode: the variable voltage source 224 of dc voltage source 220a is set at 1 volt, the variable voltage source 224 of dc voltage source 220b is set at zero volt.For example, when electric current between the source electrode of floating gate fet M71 and drain electrode by the time, promptly when when higher, determining the voltage V of floating gate fet M71 from the current values of dc voltage source 220a acquisition cBe not less than the threshold level V of floating gate fet M71 ThAs Vc during less than threshold level Vth, promptly when the current values that obtains from power supply 220a be zero or enough little (step S102: in the time of not), the floating boom of floating gate fet M71 is recharged (step S103).Before this charging is set, calculate in the voltage of floating boom and the differential pressure between the threshold level.By equally detecting electric weight repeatedly calculates this differential pressure as mentioned above.For example, when calculating, the variable voltage source 224 of dc voltage source 220a is set at zero volt, and the variable voltage source 224 of dc voltage source 220b is set at 0.5 volt in the voltage of the floating boom of floating gate fet M71 and the differential pressure between its threshold level.Then, open switch SW 1 and SW2, and detect the current values that obtains from dc voltage source 220b.
In this case, be applied to grid voltage V on the passage of floating gate fet M71 gBy V g=V f+ 0.5 expression, wherein V fMagnitude of voltage for floating boom.Under this state, the current values of the dc voltage source 220b that flows through and (V g-V Th) 2=(V f+ 0.5-V Th) 2Proportional.When current value at this moment is higher, the variable voltage source of dc voltage source 220b is set at is lower than 0.5 volt level.When current value is zero or when enough low, the voltage source of this dc voltage source 220b is set at is higher than 0.5 volt level.Therefore, by reading out in the magnitude of voltage at current boundary place, thereby calculate in the voltage value of floating boom and the differential pressure between the threshold value.According to this differential pressure, determine to set voltage to the booster circuit 222 in dc voltage source 200.

At voltage V cWhen step 102 place is not less than threshold level Vth, promptly when the current values that obtains from dc voltage source 220a is higher (step 102: be), determine this voltage V cWhether greater than threshold level V Th(step S104).As voltage V cGreater than threshold level V ThThe time (step S104: be), rectification efficiency reduces owing to floating gate fet M71 always connects.For fear of this state occurring, give floating gate discharging (step S105).
Can realize the setting of discharging by setting identical process with as shown in Figure 15 electric weight.For example, for floating gate discharging, the booster circuit 222 of dc voltage source 220a is set at zero volt, and the booster circuit 222 of dc voltage source 220b is set at high pressure, connect these switch SW 1 and SW2 afterwards floating gate fet M71.Therefore, the electronics that remains in the source electrode of floating gate fet M71 is transmitted to floating boom to be reduced in the electric charge on the floating boom.
As voltage V cBe not more than threshold level V ThThe time (step S104: not), promptly as voltage V cEqual threshold level V ThThe time, to the control end of floating boom.
Though adopt floating gate fet M71 as floating gate fet, also can adopt floating gate fet M72.The threshold level of each floating gate fet can be set at high potential.In this case, can not the weak radio signal of rectification.Specifically, when being applied in this rectifier circuit 200 on the RFID label, have only the RFID label of close base station can be subjected to the rectification operation.Can also control communication distance according to the electric weight that is applied on the floating boom, therefore can change the performance of RFID label according to fail safe, privacy and long haul communication.
