A new DC-DC buck converter with soft-switching capability

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

In this paper, a new DC-DC buck converter with soft-switching capability is proposed and investigated. In this structure, a simple auxiliary circuit provides soft-switching capability for the power switch in turn-on and turn-off instants, and the diode's reverse recovery losses has been minimized. First, the proposed converter is introduced and the operational modes are mentioned. In order to prove the proposed converter's performance, a 180W prototype of the topology is modelled in PSCAD and the waveforms are also obtained. Finally, a 180W prototype of the converter is built and the experimental results prove the soft-switching capability of the proposed converter.
