Title
New family of zero-current-switching PWM converters using a new zero-current-switching PWM auxiliary circuit
Abstract
A new family of zero-current-switching (ZCS) pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) converters using a new ZCS-PWM auxiliary circuit is presented in this paper. The main switch and auxiliary switch operate at zero-current-switching turn on and turn off, and the all passive semiconductor devices in the ZCS-PWM converters operate at zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) turn on and turn off. Besides operating at constant frequency and reducing commutation losses, these new converters have no additional current stress and conduction loss in the main switch in comparison to the hard switching converter counterpart. The PWM switch model and state-space averaging approach is used to estimate and examine the steady-state and dynamic character of system. The new family of ZCS-PWM converters is suitable for high-power application using insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBTs). The principle of operation, theoretical analysis, and experimental results of the new ZCS-PWM boost converter, rated 1.6 kW and operating at 30 kHz, are provided in this paper to verify the performance of this new family of converters.
