A 500 kHz multi-output converter with zero voltage switching

A detailed analysis of topological modes of the converter and its relation to the design, development, and performance of a multioutput prototype converter are given. The implemented topology is found to be a good solution for eliminating converter switching losses at high frequencies. The breadboarded converter demonstrates the zero voltage switching very clearly, resulting in improved efficiency. The implementation of the circuit was relatively simple and was not susceptible to noise problems associated with high-frequency converters.<>
