This paper proposes a new zero-current-switching (ZCS) pulsewidth modulation (PWM) switch cell that has no additional conduction loss of the main switch. In this cell, the main switch and the auxiliary switch turn on and turn off under zero-current condition. The diodes commutate softly and the reverse-recovery problems are alleviated. The conduction loss and the current stress of the main swit...

The combination of conventional front-end DC-DC converter and H-bridge inverter has been proposed with common-ground (CG) characteristic voltage booting capability. However, it drawback low modulation index utilization which causes high component rating small conversion efficiency.

In dc-to-dc conversion applications that require a large range of input andlor output voltages, conventional PWM converter topologies must operate at extremely low duty ratios, which limits the operation to lower switching frequencies because of the minimum ONtime of the transistor switch. This is eliminated in a new class of singletransistor PWM converters featuring voltage conversion ratios w...

An interleaved dc/dc converter system is chosen for the automotive converter topology due to its advantages regarding filter reduction, dynamic ...

This study presents a high-efficiency low-noise pulse-width modulation (PWM) DC–DC buck converter based on multi-partition switching for mobile system-on-a-chip applications. A multi-partition switching technique is employed for the control of large current driving switches to minimise the switching noise.
