Abstract

Class-E DC-to-DC power converters with half wave and full wave controlled current rectifier are proposed. Zero voltage switching for all the switches can be maintained from full load to no load. The switching frequency is constant. When the load current changes from maximum to zero, the output voltage can be kept constant by regulating the conducting angle of the rectifier switch. The operation of the new converters is analyzed, and the zero voltage switching characteristic is demonstrated. The current gain versus the conducting angle is examined
