Abstract
An asymmetrical duty-cycle DC-DC power converter was proposed recently, which allows zero-voltage switching while keeping the switch conduction losses as low as in standard hard switched PWM power converters. Further developments now allow the asymmetrical circuit to exhibit lower conduction losses than standard PWM circuits
