Pseudo-resonant full bridge DC/DC converter

This paper proposes a new dc/dc converter topology which combines the ease of control and wide range of conventional dc/dc converters, with low switching losses, low dv/dt and low EMI that is typical of zero voltage switched resonant converters. Consequently, the ratings of these components are substantially lower than for similarly rated resonant topologies. Operation at very high frequencies is possible and is shown with the fabrication of a 200 watt, 1 MHz dc/dc converter.
