Abstract

This paper presents a new type of zero-voltage-switched (ZVS) push-pull current-fed dc-dc converter with two synchronous rectifiers in the secondary circuit. ZVS is realized using the magnetizing current of the transformer as a constant current source during the commutation. The output voltage is controlled by PWM with a constant switching frequency. The circuit operation is described using equivalent circuits. The steady-state and dynamic characteristics are analyzed and confirmed experimentally.
