Single-inductor dual-output soft-switching converter with voltage-mode resonant switch

This paper presents our study on the soft-switching converters with voltage-mode. The switching converters are well-known to obtain high efficiency, but their resonant voltages of the voltage-mode converters go very high. We propose here a soft-switching converter with the clamp circuit in order to reduce the peak voltages. We have investigated the difference of the characteristics with/without the clamp circuit for both half/full-wave converters in simulation. Further, we have investigated a single-inductor dual-output converter in order to reduce the number of the resonant parts.
