Designing a More Efficient Power Converter Using Soft Switching Technique

Switched-mode power supply (SMPS) design is gaining a lot of attention with the growing demand for renewable energy. Electric vehicles (EV) are at the forefront of this trend. The demand for faster and more efficient ways to charge EV batteries is driving designers to come up with more efficient SMPS topologies. With SMPS moving towards higher operating frequencies, designers need to be more wary of the switching losses in the SMPS. Switching losses are directly proportional to the operating frequency. In general, switching losses can be divided into 3 categories:

  1. Turn on / turn off losses
  2. Switch node diode reverse recovery loss
  3. Conduction loss
