Current-fed multi-resonant DC-DC converter

A current-fed multi-resonant DC-DC converter is studied theoretically and experimentally. The main features of the proposed converter are inherent protection against a short circuit at the output, and high voltage gain and zero voltage switching over a large range of output voltage. These characteristics make it a viable choice for the implementation of a high voltage capacitor charger.<<ETX>>
