A 1.6-kW, 110-kHz DC-DC converter optimized for IGBT's

A full bridge DC-DC power converter using a zero current and zero-voltage switching technique is described. This circuit utilizes the characteristics of the IGBT to achieve power and frequency combinations that are much higher than previously reported for this device. Experimental results are included for a 1.6 kW, 110 kHz converter with 95% efficiency. >
