Abstract
Soft switching based on resonant operation, through mitigating switching loss and alleviating electromagnetic interference, is essential to high-frequency operation to achieve high power density. To overcome the obstacles of high switch voltage stress and ease the contradiction between voltage stress and conduction loss for traditional single-switch resonant converters, a family of zero-voltage-switched (ZVS) isolated resonant converters is proposed which utilizes a novel resonant switch. The converters enable parasitic components, including transformer leakage inductance, switch output capacitance, and diode junction capacitance to act as a part of resonant components, which facilitates ZVS and zero-current-switching operation and pushes up switching frequency. The specific derivation of the topologies is expounded, and one of the proposed converters is taken for example to perform in-depth analysis, whose mode analysis, operation principles, and parameter design method are minutely presented. Synchronous rectification is employed to further improve efficiency. A prototype was built in the laboratory and the experimental results validate the theoretical analysis well.
