This paper presents the analysis and design methodology of lossless passive soft switching converters from an engineering perspective. The circuit operation and soft switching loss analysis are detailed and an intuitive procedure is derived that enables quick and accurate design. Analysis is given for a set of soft switching circuit cells with minimum switch voltage stress used to synthesize a family of soft switching converters. The design is based on minimizing switching losses while maintaining soft switching over the desired operating range. A new simple loss model is derived to optimize the values of the resonant components for a particular design. As an example of the design procedure, a PFC boost converter is designed and tested     

Properties and synthesis of passive lossless soft-switching PWMconverters

This paper derives general topological and electrical properties common to all lossless passive soft-switching power converters with defined characteristics, and proposes a synthesis procedure for the creation of new power converters. The synthesis procedure uses the properties to determine all possible locations for the resonant inductors and capacitors added to achieve soft switching. A set of circuit cells is then used to recover the energy stored in these resonant elements. This paper also explains the operation of the circuit cells and the many new passive lossless soft-switching power converters. A family of soft-switching boost converters is given as an example of the synthesis procedure. Experimental waveforms are also shown for a new soft-switching Cuk converter     

A novel lossless passive snubber for soft-switching boost-typeconverters

A novel lossless passive snubber is proposed for soft switching boost-type converters. The proposed snubber does not use any auxiliary switches, but uses two identical snubber capacitors which are charged in parallel at turn off of the main switch and discharged in series at turn on automatically, and the discharged energy is recovered effectively (more than 95% recovery) into the output capacitor. Thus, the snubber provides zero-voltage switching for the converter main switch, reducing both the turn-off losses and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, which improves the converter performance. The experimental results of a 20 kHz 600 W DC-DC boost converter and a single-phase AC-DC boost rectifier with the new snubber are presented     

A systematic approach to developing single-stage soft switching PWMconverters

A systematic approach to developing soft switching PWM converters based on the synchronous switch scheme is presented in this paper. With the approach, several families of passive and active soft switching PWM converters, such as buck-boost, Zeta, Cuk, and Sepic, can be generated from the two basic converters, buck and boost. Also, the approach is used to integrate multiple converters to form a single-stage soft switching PWM converter. It has been shown that analysis of the converters can be conveniently performed from the derived general configurations, reducing the complexity significantly. Therefore, employing the technique can not only explore more physical insights into the converters in a family but reveal more relationships among the soft switching converters over conventional approaches. Measured results from a prototype have verified the feasibility of the derived single-stage converters     

Single phase three-level power factor correction circuit with passive lossless snubber

Multilevel conversion techniques, power factor correction (PFC) techniques and soft switching techniques are the three research hot points of power electronics. The paper proposes a single phase three-level PFC circuit with passive lossless snubbers which embodies these trends. Firstly, the three-level buck and boost topologies are derived from one bridge leg of the traditional diode clamped three-level inverters. Then, a single phase three-level PFC circuit is presented based on the three-level boost topology, and the principle and implementation approaches of the three-level PFC circuit are described. To realize the soft switching of the main switches and freewheeling diodes, two passive lossless snubber cells are added to the circuit. The operating principle and design considerations of the new circuit are discussed in detail. Finally, a 2 kW prototype of the single phase three-level PFC with the passive lossless snubber is built and tested. The simulated and experimental results indicate that the proposed circuit can realize the function of three-level PFC, increase system efficiency and have no over-voltage stresses on main power switches. Moreover, the power factor of the proposed circuit with the passive lossless snubber is higher than that of the circuit without the snubber.     

Engineering design of lossless passive soft switching methods for PWM converters. II. With nonminimum voltage stress circuit cells

This paper proposes the analysis and design methodology of lossless, passive soft switching methods for PWM converters. The emphasis of the design and analysis is for PWM converters that use nonminimum voltage stress (non-MVS) circuit cells to provide soft switching. PWM converters with non-MVS circuit cells have several distinct advantages over converters that use minimum voltage stress (MVS) cells. With the same relative size of the inductor and capacitor added for soft switching, the non-MVS cells have a substantially larger duty ratio range where soft switching is guaranteed. In addition, the overcurrent stress of the main switch, under most conditions, will be lower and an optimum value of inductor and capacitor added for soft switching can be used. Therefore, with proper design, the non-MVS cells provide higher efficiency. These advantages are obtained with the price of higher switching voltage stress and one additional inductor. The loss model for a MOSFET and optimum capacitor and inductor values are utilized in the design procedure. Examples of the design procedure are given for PFC and DC-DC applications. Experimental results backup the claim of higher efficiency.

PWM zero-voltage switching boost-derived converters with outputisolation

In this paper, the basic operations and steady-state analysis for three modified boost-derived power converter topologies are presented. Unlike the conventional boost topology, these power converters provide electrical isolation and zero-voltage switching, while having identical component stresses as those in the conventional boost power converters. Zero-voltage switching and proper transformer-core resetting are achieved from the resonance that occurs between the parasitic capacitance of the power switch and the transformer magnetizing inductance. By introducing a lossless clamping circuit, the voltage stresses across the switching devices are limited to the reflected output voltage to the primary side     

A zero-voltage-switched PWM boost converter with an energyfeedforward auxiliary circuit

A zero-voltage-switched (ZVS) pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) boost converter with an energy feedforward auxiliary circuit is proposed in this paper. The auxiliary circuit, which is a resonant circuit consisting of a switch and passive components, ensures that the converter's main switch and boost diode operate with soft switching. This converter can function with PWM control because the auxiliary resonant circuit operates for a small fraction of the switching cycle. Since the auxiliary circuit is a resonant circuit, the auxiliary switch itself has both a soft turn on and turn off, resulting in reduced switching losses and electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is unlike other proposed ZVS boost converters with auxiliary circuits where the auxiliary switch has a hard turn off. Peak switch stresses are only slightly higher than those found in a conventional PWM boost converter because part of the energy that would otherwise circulate in the auxiliary circuit and drastically increase peak switch stresses is fed to the load. In this paper, the operation of the converter is explained and analyzed, design guidelines are given, and experimental results obtained from a prototype are presented. The proposed converter is found to be about 2%-3% more efficient than the conventional PWM boost converter     

A new ZVT-ZCT-PWM DC-DC converter

In this paper, a new active snubber cell is proposed to contrive a new family of pulse width modulated (PWM) converters. This snubber cell provides zero voltage transition (ZVT) turn on and zero current transition (ZCT) turn off together for the main switch of a converter. Also, the snubber cell is implemented by using only one quasi resonant circuit without an important increase in the cost and complexity of the converter. New ZVT-ZCT-PWM converter equipped with the proposed snubber cell provides most the desirable features of both ZVT and ZCT converters presented previously, and overcomes most the drawbacks of these converters. Subsequently, the new converter can operate with soft switching successfully at very wide line and load ranges and at considerably high frequencies. Moreover, all semiconductor devices operate under soft switching, the main devices do not have any additional voltage and current stresses, and the stresses on the auxiliary devices are at low levels. Also, the new converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control. In this study, a detailed steady state analysis of the new converter is presented, and this theoretical analysis is verified exactly by a prototype of a 1-kW and 100-kHz boost converter.
