A self core reset and zero voltage switching (ZVS) forward converter topology is presented in this paper. By employing a simple auxiliary circuit, the proposed topology is able to achieve self reset of the power transformer without the use of the conventional tertiary reset winding, and its main switch can be turned on and turned off under ZVS independent of line and load conditions.

This paper aims to design a PID compensator for the control of Synchronous Rectifier (SR) Buck Converter to improve its conversion efficiency under different load conditions. Since the diode rectifier is replaced by a high frequency MOSFET switch, the SR control method itself will be sufficient under heavy load condition, to attain better normal mode performance. However, this technique does no...

A Class-E/Fodd high power amplifier (PA) using the distributed active transformer (DAT) is demonstrated at 29MHz. The DAT combines the output power from four VDMOS push-pull pairs. The zero voltage switching (ZVS) condition is investigated and modified for the Class-E/Fodd amplifier with a non-ideal output transformer. All lumped elements including the DAT and the transistor package are modeled...
