Abstract :
An existing idea for a ZCS quasi-resonant converter was extended to generate families of zero-current-switching PWM dc/dc converters. The converter output voltage is regulated by controlling turn on of the auxiliary switch while both main and auxiliary switches maintain the ZCS and/or ZVS condition during the constant frequency operation
