            Abstract : 
Power converters are becoming increasingly commonplace in the electrical industry. Product manufacturers and suppliers of electrical equipment are demanding ever-increasing functionality (i.e., lower input and output voltages, higher currents, faster transient response) from their power supply systems. SR improves efficiency, thermal performance, power density, manufacturability, and reliability, and decreases the overall system cost of power supply systems. This paper will examine the advantages of SR and discuss the challenges encountered in its implementation.
