AB - This chapter deals with resonant and soft-switching converters. Power switches cut off the load current within the turn-on and turn-off times under the hard switching conditions. Hard switching refers to the stressful switching behavior of the power electronic devices. During the turn-on and turn-off processes, the power device has to withstand high voltage and current simultaneously, resulting in high switching losses and stress. Dissipative passive snubbers are usually added to the power circuits so that the dv/dt and di/dt of the power devices could be reduced, and the switching loss and stress be diverted to the passive snubber circuits. This chapter describes the basic technology of resonant and soft-switching converters. Various forms of soft-switching techniques such as ZVS, ZCS, voltage clamping, zero-voltage transition methods, etc. are addressed. The emphasis is placed on the basic operating principle and practicality of the converters without using much mathematical analysis. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
