Switching losses of IGBTs under zero-voltage and zero-current switching

PESC Record. 27th Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference, 2002
Turn-off switching losses of punch-through (PT) and nonpunch-through (NPT) IGBTs under hard switching (HS) and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) are presented and evaluated at 25/spl deg/C, 75/spl deg/C and 125/spl deg/C. A comparison between PT and NPT devices based on their internal device characteristics is given for HS and ZVS.

A new zero voltage and zero current power switching technique

20th Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference, 1992
An outline is presented of work done by the authors on a novel converter topology where the power switching occurs at both zero current and zero voltage, giving it some major advantage over the present state of the art. A description is given of the application of this topology to both high and low-output-voltage converters.

Zero-current-transition PWM DC–DC converters using new zero-current-switching PWM switch cell

IEE Proceedings - Electric Power Applications, 2006
A new family of zero-current-switching (ZCS) pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) converters, which uses a new ZCS PWM switch cell, is presented. The main switch and auxiliary switch operate at zero-current-switching turn-on and turn-off, and the all passive semiconductor devices in the ZCS-PWM converter operate at zero-voltage-switching turn-on and turn-off ...

Zero-current-switching multilevel modular switched-capacitor dc-dc converter

2009 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition, 2009
This paper presents a quasi-resonant technique for multilevel modular switched-capacitor circuit (MMSCC) to achieve zero-current-switching (ZCS) without increasing cost and sacrificing reliability. This zero-current-switching multilevel modular switched-capacitor circuit (ZCS-MMSCC) employs the stray inductance existing in the circuit as the resonant ...

Novel zero-current-switching PWM converters

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 1997
This paper presents a new family of pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) converters, featuring soft commutation of the semiconductors at zero current (ZC) in the transistors and zero voltage (ZV) in the rectifiers. Besides operating at constant frequency and with reduced commutation losses, these new converters have output characteristics similar to the hard ...

Zero-voltage and zero-current soft-switching PWM inverter

2005 European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications, 2005
This paper presents a zero-voltage and zero-current soft-switching (ZVZCS) PWM three phase inverter with a single auxiliary resonant commutation cell. All of the main switches in the three-phase inverter side can be turned on and turned off under zero-voltage and zero-current condition. The operating principle of proposed commutation cell is described,

Zero-current switching switched-capacitor quasiresonant step-down converter

IEE Proceedings - Electric Power Applications, 2002
Current stress is usually high for conventional switched-capacitor converter circuits, because of short-circuiting when charging up the capacitors. In this paper, two zero-current switching switched-capacitor resonant step-down converter families are presented which can improve the current stress problem. They are able to provide 1/2 to 1/n, and -1 to -

Zero-current-switching switched-capacitor bidirectional DC–DC converter

IEE Proceedings - Electric Power Applications, 2005
The proposed zero-current-switching switched-capacitor quasi-resonant DC-DC converter is a new type of bidirectional power flow control conversion scheme. It possesses the conventional features of resonant switched-capacitor converters: low weight, small volume, high efficiency, low EMI emission and current stress.
