In conventional zero-current-switching(ZCS) PWM converters, the switching loss, stress and noise can't be minimized because they adopt auxiliary switches operated in hard-switching. In this paper, new ZCS-PWM converters of which auxiliary switches always operate with soft-switching are proposed. Therefore, the proposed ZCS-PWM converters are most suitable for systems requiring high-power density. The characteristics of these converters are verified by experimental results.

This paper proposes a new zero-current switching (ZCS) pulse-width modulation (PWM) switch cell that has no additional conduction loss of the main switch. In this cell, the main switch and the auxiliary switch turn on and turn off under zero current condition. The diodes commutate softly and the reverse recovery problems are alleviated. The conduction loss and the current stress of the main switch are minimized, since the resonating current stress of the main switch are minimized, since the resonating current for the soft switching does not flow through the main switch. Based on the proposed ZCS PWM switch cell, a new family of DC to DC PWM converters is derived. The new family of ZCS PWM converters is suitable for the high power applications employing IGBTs. Among the new family of DC to DB PWM converters, a boost converter was taken as an example and has been analyzed. Design guidelines with a design example are described and verified by experimental results from the 2.5 kW prototype converter operating at 40 kHz.

In conventional zero-current-switching(ZCS) PWM converters, zero-current turn-off for main switch without increasing voltage/current stresses is achieved at a fixed frequency. The switching loss, stress, and noise, however, can\`t be minimized because they adopt auxiliary switches turned off and main switches turned on under hard-switching condition. In this paper, new ZCS-PWM converters of which all switches are always operating with soft-switching condition are proposed. Therefore, the proposed ZCS-PWM converters are most suitable for systems requiring high-power density Breadboarded ZCS-PWM boost converters using power MOSFET are constructed to verify theoretical analysis.

본 논문에서는 정류용 다이오드의 역 회복시 발생하는 손실을 줄이기 위한 새로운 듀얼 모드로 동작하는 ZCS-PWM 승압형 컨버터를 제안한다 제안된 회로에서 각각의 스위치는 소프트 스위칭 조건에서 매 사이클마다 교번으로 스위칭 동작을 하고 스위치 $S_2$에 직렬로 공진형 인덕터 Lr을 달아서 스위칭 손실과 EMI 노이즈와 관련된 정류용 다이오드$(D, D_1)$의 역 회복 전류를 감소시켰다. 제안된 컨버터는 기존의 ZVT-PWM 컨버터$^{[2]}$에 수동 및 능동 소자를 더 이상 추가하지 않기 때문에 각 소자들이 받는 전류/전압 스트레스는 기존의 하드 스위칭 컨버터 같다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 동작을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 제작 및 실험을 통해서 타당성을 입증하였다.

A Novel Zero Current Switching(ZCS) Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) boost converter for reducing two rectifiers reverse recovery related losses Is proposed. The switches of the proposed converter are operating to work alternatively turn-on and turn-off with soft switching(ZVS, ZCS) condition. The reverse recovery related switching losses and EMI problems of the proposed converter eliminates the reverse recovery current of the freewheeling diode(D, Dl) by adding the resonant inductor Lr, in series with the switch S2. The voltage and current stresses of the components are similar to those in its conventional hard switching counterpats. As mentioned above, the characteristics are verified through experimental results.
