Abstract

This paper proposes a soft-switched single switch isolated converter. The proposed converter is able to offer low cost and high power density in step-up application due to the following features: zero-current switching (ZCS) turn-on and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) turn-off of switch and ZCS turn-off of diodes regardless of voltage and load variation; low rated lossless snubber; reduced transformer volume compared to flyback-based converters due to low magnetizing current. Experimental results on a 100 kHz, 250 W prototype are provided to validate the proposed concept.
