Abstract

In this paper, we have developed a ZVS half-bridge converter with a clamping circuit for the DC power source of PDP circuit. The clamping circuit in the developed converter reduces the oscillating current of the switch by resonant inductor and parasitic parameters in output rectifier diodes. Finally, comparing the experimental results of the developed converter to the conventional ZVS half-bridge converter, it is clarified that the developed converter is more efficient and lower noise than the conventional one.
