This paper presents considerations on the switching frequency and duty cycle & operating equations of softswitching BUCK chopper. These considerations are discussed and applied to selected soft-switching families such as ZVS-QRC, ZCS-QRC, ZVS-QSW-CV, ZCS-QSWCC, ZVT-PWM and ZCT-PWM [1]. The limitations on switching frequency and duty cycle are derived in terms of: chopper input voltage (Vg), cho...

In this paper, a novel zero voltage transition (ZVT) pulse width modulation (PWM) DC-DC interleaved boost converter with an active snubber cell is proposed. All of the semiconductor devices in the converter turn on and off with soft switching to reduce the switching power losses and improve the overall efficiency. Due to interleaved approach, the current stresses of main devices, the ripple of ...

Abstract: Due to the low cost, small size, and ease of control, the switched-capacitor (SC) battery equalizers are promising among active balancing methods. However, it is difficult to achieve the full cell equalization for the SC equalizers due to the inevitable voltage drops across Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) switches. Moreover, when the voltage gap among cells ...

Conventional switch-mode LED drivers have problems such as poor performance in harmonic distortion, flickering, power factor correction, stresses on the switches, high switching losses, large size, and cost. To resolve these problems, we propose a long-life driver with ability of correction. The proposed system is based integration half-bridge LLC resonant converter two boundary-conducted boost...
