초록

This paper compares three kinds of soft-switching circuits from viewpoints of surge suppression, load characteristic, and power efficiency for a tapped-inductor buck converter with low voltage and high current. As a result, these soft-switching techniques have achieved much higher efficiency of $80\%$ when compared with a hard-switching buck converter for the output condition of 1V and 20A.
