A novel two stage soft-switching ac-to-dc convener with power factor correction is proposed. The proposed convener provides zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) condition to main switch of boost pre-regulator without auxiliary switch. Comparing to the conventional two stage approach(ZVS-PWM boost rectifier followed by off-line ZVS dc-dc step down converter), the proposed approach is simple and reducing EMI noise problem. A new simple DC-linked energy feedback circuit provides zero-voltage-switching condition to boost pre-regulator without imposing additional voltage and current stresses and loss of PWM capability. Operational principle, analysis, control of the proposed converter together with the simulation results of 1KW prototype are presented.

An improved zero voltage and zero current switching (ZVZCS) full bridge (FB) PWM converter is proposed to solve the problems of the previously presented ZVACS-FB-PWM converter with secondary active clamp such as narrow ZVS range of leading-leg switches [6]. By adding an auxiliary inductor in between the leading-leg and separated input source voltages, the ZVS of leading leg switches can be extended to the whole line and load ranges, which eliminates unwanted hard switching of clamp switch and simplifies its control. The principle of operation is explained and analyzed. The features and design considerations of the proposed converter are also illustrated and verified on a 3 kW, 100 KHz IGBT based experimental circuit.

An effective method for reducing the harmonics in double connected modified current source inverter[MCSI] by switching taps on auto transformer is presented in this paper. The proposed system operates as like a 24 step MCSI by adding only tap changing auxiliary circuit which consists of several taps and static switching elements to the 12 step multiple inverter, which is double connected three-phase six-step MCSI with an auto transformer. The basic theories of the proposed inverter systems for analyzing the output waveforms are described. And to optimize the effectiveness of the harmonic reduction, the optimum turn ratio and the tap changing control angle of auto transformer are decided by digital simulation and its validity is verified by experiment. Although the construction of the proposed inverter is very simple, it is clarified that the output waveform of the inverter is almost the same as that of the conventional 24 step multiple inverter under the optimum condition.

High efficiency and low cost sustain driver for plasma display panel (PDP) with current fed is proposed. Main concept of the proposed circuit is using the current source to charge and discharge panel. As a result, all power switches can achieve the zero voltage switching (ZVS) and every auxiliary switch can also do the zero current switching (ZCS). Moreover, since the inductor current can compensate the discharge current, the current stress of all power switches can be reduced considerably. Furthermore, it has features as a simpler structure, less mass, less cost, and lower electromagnetic interference than prior circuit.

A novel active controlled primary current cutting-off zero-voltage and zero-current switching (ZVZCS) PWM three-level dc-dc converter (TLC) is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter has some attractive advantages. The OFF voltage on the primary switches is only Vin/2 due to the series connected structure. The leading-leg switches can obtain zero-voltage switching (ZVS), and the lagging-leg switches can achieve zero-current switching (ZCS) in a wide load range. Two MOSFETs, referred to as cutting-off MOSFETs, with an ultra-low on-state resistance are used as active controlled primary current cutting-off components, and the added conduction loss can be neglected. The added MOSFETs are switched ON and OFF with ZCS that is irrelevant to the load current. Thus, the auxiliary switching loss can be significantly minimized. In addition, these MOSFETs are not series connected in the circuit loop of the dc input bus bar and the primary switches, which results in a low parasitic inductance. The operation principle and some relevant analyses are provided, and a 6-kW laboratory prototype is built to verify the proposed converter.
