A New ZCS-PWM Full-Bridge DC–DC Converter With Simple Auxiliary Circuits

Abstract—

A new soft-switching pulsewidth modulated (PWM) full-bridge converter is proposed in this paper. The outstanding feature of the new converter is that it allows its main power switches to operate with zero current switching (ZCS) and with fewer conduction losses than conventional full-bridge converters. This is achieved by using two very simple active auxiliary circuits—one active, the other passive. The paper presents the new converter and then discusses its operation, steady-state characteristics, and design. Experimental results obtained from a 3 kW converter prototype are presented to validate the converter’s performance and the concepts presented in the paper.
