Abstract

A novel zero voltage and zero current switching (ZVZCS) full bridge (FB) PWM converter with a low output current ripple is proposed. The proposed circuit improve the demerits of the previously presented ZVBCS-FB-PWM converters[5-8] such as use of lossy components or additional active switches. A simple auxiliary circuit which includes neither lossy components nor active switches provides ZVZCS conditions to primary switches, ZVS for leading-leg switches and ZCS for lagging-leg switches. In addition, this proposed circuit reduces a output current ripple considerably. Many advantages including simple circuit topology, high efficiency, low cost and low current ripple make the new converter attractive far high power (> 1kW) applications.
