Abstract:

A novel soft-switching boost converter with a magnetically coupled resonant snubber is presented in this paper. The passive snubber circuit, which is composed of two diodes, two capacitors, and one coupled inductor, ensures a zero current turn-on and zero voltage turn-off conditions for the power switch, and alleviates the reverse-recovery problem for the output diode. Moreover, with the proper design of the snubber circuit, the power switch and output diode can be softly switched in a wide load range. The operating principle and performance analysis of the proposed converter are described in detail. The experiment from a 400 W prototype has been carried out and the results show that the proposed converter has the advantages of simple structure, low complexity control, and the highest efficiency is more than 95%.
