Abstract :
A complete analysis and characterization of a DC/DC ZVS PWM off-line converter are presented. The regions of soft-switching for all the semiconductor devices are identified. The DC/DC converter is composed of a half-bridge on the input side and a double-boost on the output side. The analyzed DC/DC converter presents low switching losses (ZVS), low device and component stresses, simple control, step-up/down operation (boost-buck), and it operates ZVS at a wide load range. Therefore, the combination of these attributes results in a high power density and efficient converter. Principle of operation, theoretical analysis, design procedure and an example along with laboratory experimental results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and validation of the theoretical analysis
