Abstract

A system and method for converting an input AC voltage of a voltage source into an output DC voltage is proposed. The proposed system and method include at least two MEMS switches coupled in parallel with a corresponding voltage clamp switch within a MEMS rectifier. The MEMS switches achieve Zero-Voltage-Zero-Current (ZVZC) Turn on and Zero-Current-Zero-Voltage (ZCZV) Turn off through the inclusion of at least one high frequency switch and a current diverting circuit which ensure that when the at least two MEMS switches transition between an on-state and off-state there is no voltage or current present in the at least two MEMS switches.
