Abstract
In this paper, a new family of soft-switching pulsewidth modulation (PWM) converters is introduced. In this family of converters, two switches operate out of phase and share the output current while providing soft-switching condition for each other. A buck converter, from this family of converters, is analyzed and its operating modes are discussed. The adoption of regular PWM control circuit to the proposed converters is presented. A prototype converter is implemented and its experimental results are illustrated.
