| Abstract: | In this paper, a family of zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) pulsewidth-modulated converters with synchronous rectifier (SR) is introduced. The SR decreases the conduction losses, while it increases the achieved soft switching range. In this family of converters, zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) condition is attained for the main and rectifier switches. Also, zero-current switching is achieved for the auxiliary switch. In addition, the applied ZVS technique can eliminate the reverse recovery losses of the rectifier switch body diode. The ZVT buck converter with SR is analyzed, and the presented experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis. |
