Abstract |
Switch-mode operation in almost all Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) DC-to-DC and DC-to-AC converters require from the power semiconductor devices to turn-on and turn-off the entire load current during each switching. In this paper, the converter topology and the switching strategy, which result in zero-current switching's, will be described. Most of these topologies require some form of L-C resonance (serial or parallel), therefore they are broadly classified as "resonant converters". The model of the High Frequency (HF) resonant DC-AC converter for SPICE simulator will be described and simulation results will be presented and discussed in this paper. |
