A zero voltage and zero current switching(ZVZCS) fullbridge (FB) PWM converter with secondary auxiliary circuit is proposed. Based on the ZVZCS technique, the ZCS of the lagging-leg switch and ZVS of the leading-leg switch are implemented. And the each secondary side voltage overshoot is decreased by additional secondary auxiliary circuit in this paper. The illustration of its operation principle and the simulation result are presented here.

A novel zero voltage and zero current switching (ZVZCS) full bridge (FB) PWM converter is proposed. The new converter improves the drawbacks of the previously proposed ZVZCS FB PWM converters [1-5]. A simple auxiliary circuit with neither lossy components nor active switches achieves ZVZCS of the primary switches. Since the proposed converter has many advantages such as simple auxiliary circuit, high efficiency, and low voltage stress of the rectifier diode, it is very attractive for the high power applications. The principles of operation and design considerations are presented. The experimental verifications from 2.5kW prototype converter operating at 70kHz are presented.

This paper presents new Zero-Voltage-/Zero-Current-Switching (ZVZCS) PWM DC-DC converters. The proposed soft-switching technique achieves ZVS and ZCS simultaneously at both turn-on and turn-off of the main switch and diode by using only one auxiliary switch. Also, the proposed soft-switching technique is suitable for not only minority but also majority carrier semiconductor devices. The auxiliary circuit of the proposed topology is placed out the main power path and therefore, there are no voltage/current stresses on the main switch and diode. The operating principle of the proposed topology is illustrated by a detailed study with a boost converter as an example. Theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results are presented to explain the proposed schemes.

This paper proposes a Phase-Shift Triple Full-Bridge (PSTB) Zero-Voltage Zero-Current-Switching (ZVZCS) converter with a high switching frequency and high efficiency. In the proposed converter, all three bridge legs are shared leading-legs, and all three transformers work in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). Thus, all of the switches and diodes in the PSTB ZVZCS can be soft switched. Moreover, since all of the transformers can pass energy from the primary-side to the secondary-side when their primary-side currents are not zero, there is no circulating current. As a result, the PSTB ZVZCS converter can achieve a high efficiency at high operating frequencies. A theoretical analysis and the characteristics of the proposed converter are presented and verified on a 1MHz 200~300V/24V 1.2kW hardware prototype. The proposed converter can reach a peak efficiency of 96.6%.

본 논문에서는 1차측 환류 다이오드를 제거한 ZVZCS(영전압 영전류 스위칭) Three Level DC/DC 컨버터에 관하여 논하였다. 제안된 컨버터는 1차측 회로를 Three Level 결선하고, 여기에 위상이동 스위칭 방법을 이용하여, 스위치 전압 스트레스를 저감시킬 수 있으므로, 기존의 Full-Bridge 컨버터에 비하여 스위칭 손실이 적고, 고전압 응용 분야에 적합하다. 기존의 경우 2차측에 한 개의 커패시터와 두 개의 다이오드를 이용한 보조회로를 부가하여, 누설 인덕터와 2차측 보조 커패시터를 이용하여 공진을 일으킴으로써 주 스위치의 영전압 영전류 스위칭(ZVZCS)이 가능하였다. 그러나 새로운 컨버터는 기존의 보조 회로에 결합 인덕터를 추가함으로써, 누설 인덕터, 2차측 보조 커패시터, 2차측 결합 인덕터가 공진을 일으키므로 기존의 경우보다 도전 손실이 저감된 고효율 컨버터를 구현할 수 있다. 또한 1차측 순환 전류의 현저한 감소로 환류 손실이 작아지며, 1차측에 환류 다이오드를 제거한 경제적인 Three Level 컨버터를 구현하였다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 컨버터의 동작원리, 해석 및 특성에 대해서 논하였으며, IGBT를 사용하여 1[㎾］급 시작품을 제작, 50［KHz］에서 실험하였다.

A New ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) and ZVZCS(Zero Voltage and Zero Current Switching) Three-Level Converter is proposed. The proposed converter presented in this paper used a phase shift control with a flying capacitor in the primary side to achieve ZVS for the all switch.

This paper proposes a novel ZVZCS-PWM Boost Converter. It enables the main switch to be turned on and off with both zero voltage and zero current and the auxiliary switch to be turned on and off with ZCS, the rectify diode to be turned on and off with ZVS. Moreover, this converter is suitable for not on]y minority carrier device but also majority carrier device. The auxiliary resonant circuit of the proposed boost converter is placed out the main power path, therefore, there are no voltage/current stresses on the main switch and diode. The operation of the proposed boost converter is explained and analyzed theoretical and experimentally, from a prototype operating at 100kHz, with an input voltage rated at 50V.

In this paper, a single-switch ZVZCS quasi-resonant CLL isolated DC-DC converter for driving a low-power (less than 100 W) 32'' LED backlighting liquid crystal display television (LCD TV) is proposed. The proposed converter exhibits both forward and flyback operational characteristics. All semiconductors are activated and deactivated under the soft switching conditions during the switching transition without additional active devices. The switching frequency varies less than about 10 kHz for load variations, leading to minimizing the efficiency reduction under light load. Furthermore, the low di/dt and dv/dt by soft switching enhance the electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance above 1 MHz. A theoretical analysis is described in detail, and a 72-W prototype converter verifies the validity of the analysis.
