Abstract

A novel DC-DC power converter with a ZVS topology is introduced. An amplitude modulated squarewave train is generated and the output can be controlled by the amplitude of this squarewave train. As energy is directly transferred to the output, it is known as a direct coupling converter (DCC). This topology results in a simple configuration and inherent ZVS characteristics. This extends switching power supply modulation techniques to cover AM, FM and PWM. Theoretical analysis and results from an experimental prototype are presented in this paper
