Abstract

This paper presents the class E ZVS inverter with matching resonant circuit and resonant gate drive. The matching resonant circuit is used for wide range of load and resonant gate drive is used to reduce the gate drive loss. The proposed circuit was simulated at 5 MHz constant switching frequency, 150 W output power, and 200Omega full load resistance. The simulation results shown that the inverter can operate in zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation from full load to open circuit and the gate drive loss reduced significantly.
