Abstract :
Using a systematic procedure for classifying resonant converters, we have synthesized a zero-voltage switching resonant structure with inherent short-circuit protection. We analyze the operating modes of the disclosed converter and derive the control characteristic curve. Experimental verification is presented in a 100-W prototype.
