Abstract

A new family of soft-switching unity power factor converters with high input power factor and isolated output is presented. A feature of the converters is a significant reduction of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI). Six converter topologies have been identified that share a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) phase arm on the input boost converter stage. Detailed analysis and experimental results are presented on the double ZVS phase-arm resonant transition converter
