Abstract

Impulse commutated current-fed push-pull (ICCPP) converter has been analyzed and designed. The topology maintains zero-current switching (ZCS) of the semiconductor devices. Variable frequency modulation has been adopted to regulate load voltage and achieve ZCS over variable input voltage. At fixed input voltage, ZCS and load voltage are load independent. Natural clamping of devices is achieved via impulse commutation. Push-pull converters have only two devices with common ground with source requiring simple gate drive circuitry. A comprehensive study of the proposed converter, including steady-state analysis and design, has been reported. A 500-W prototype was developed in the laboratory to evaluate and demonstrate the performance of the converter.
