Abstract

A new ZVZCS full bridge DC-DC converter is proposed based on the phase shift control. With an auxiliary center tapped rectifier a voltage source is gained to reset the primary current of the transformer winding. Therefore ZVS for the leading lag switches and ZCS for the lagging leg switches can be achieved respectively without any increase of current and voltage stresses. This converter also can achieve high efficiency by reducing the circulating energy and employing Schottky diodes as rectifier diodes, especially in high input voltage applications. A 1 kW prototype is made to verify the theoretical analysis.
