Abstract :
This paper proposes an interleaved zero voltage transition (ZVT) PWM buck converter. The proposed converter consists of two identical buck converter modules and an auxiliary circuit. The auxiliary circuit provides zero voltage switching condition for the main switches. Also, zero current switching condition for the auxiliary switch and diodes is achieved. The interleaved buck converter with the proposed auxiliary switch is analyzed. The simulation results of a 300W ZVT interleaved buck converter operating at 100 KHz are presented to justify the validity of theoretical analysis.
