Switch-Linear Hybrid Power Conversion (I) - The Topologies Based on Source Follower

The paper presents a hybrid power conversion topology series. They are structured with linear source follower fed by switch-filter for getting synthetic good performances in high efficiency, THD, load robustness from step response and category changes. Special operating regulation of the power devices are analyzed, neither like in switch conversion nor like in linear amplifiers. Some comparison experiment results with present typical topologies are presented for proving that the novel topology series have a prospect future
