Abstract :
A novel 2D-C-L-R resonant snubber for single-switch soft-switching boost DC/DC converters is introduced. This snubber ensures a zero current turn-on and zero-voltage turn-off of the transistor. The turn-off of the diode is soft. The principles of operation and simulation results are presented
