The proposed new dc-dc converter is characterized by the resonant switching transitions to achieve minimal switching losses and maximum system effi ciency. Here, the converter operates at fi fteen times as high as the input voltage with a small device c...

This paper presents the functions of Series-Loaded Resonant Converter (SLRC). Series Loaded Resonant DC-DC converter is a type of soft-switching topology widely known for providing improved efficiency. Zero voltage switching (ZVS) buck converter is more preferable over hard switched buck converter for low power, high frequency DC-DC conversion applications. Zero Voltage switching techniques wil...

A novel ZVZCS isolated dual series-resonant active-clamp dc–dc converter is proposed to obtain high efficiency. The proposed converter employs an active-clamp technique, while a series-resonant scheme controls the output voltage with the complementary pulse width modulation controller. The active-clamp circuit serves to recycle the energy stored in the leakage inductance or the magnetizing ...

Abstract.A novel single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast obtained from the integration of a forward dc-to-dc converter and a half-bridge resonant inverter is evaluated in this paper. The Forward converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode and constant frequency providing an input power factor high enough to satisfy present standard requirements. The operation of the propose...

This paper presents an improved resonant parametric perturbation method for controlling chaos. The control target can be any periodic orbit. Anti-control of chaos or chaotization is also possible using this method. Application of the method is illustrated for a common current-programmed dc/dc converter which can easily become chaotic for a wide parameter range. Keywords— Chaos control, resonant...

The proposed zero-current switching switched-capacitor (ZCS SC) DC-DC converter is an innovative bi-directional power flow control conversion scheme.
