Abstract
This paper presents a new soft-switched, current-driven full-bridge converter. A simple snubber is used in order to get ZVS for all the main switches. The soft-switching realization is independent of the load. The snubber is placed in parallel with the bridge. All the resonant circuit energy is recycled by the load in each half cycle. No additional current stresses appear on the main switches. A design-oriented steady-state analysis leads to the expressions of the dc voltage conversion ratio and ZVS analytical conditions, allowing for a trade-off design of the resonant inductor. A prototype has been built with a high energy transfer efficiency. The simulation and experiment results confirm the detailed theoretical analysis.
