Novel Family of PWM Soft-Single-Switched DC–DC Converters With Coupled Inductors

In this paper, a novel family of pulsewidth-modulation soft-single-switched DC-DC converters without high voltage and current stresses is described. These converters do not require any extra switch to achieve soft switching, which considerably simplifies the control circuit. In all converter family members, the switch is turned on under zero-current condition and is turned off at almost zero-voltage condition. From the proposed converter family, the boost topology is analyzed, and its operating modes are explained. The presented experimental results of a prototype boost converter confirm the theoretical analysis.
