Abstract

This paper introduces a ZC-ZVS PWM(Pulse-Width -Modulation) boost converter. The IGBT(main switch) of the proposed converter is always switched at ZCS and soft switching of MOSFET(auxiliary switch) as well. Therefore, the proposed converter minimized the turn on/turn off switching losses of switches and reduced conduction losses by using IGBT switch. Moreover, using paralleled IGBT-MOSFET switch overcame the switching frequency limitation. Therefore high power density system can be realized. As mentioned above, the characteristics are verified through experimental results.
