10.4 ZERO-VOLTAGE SWITCHING CONVERTER (ZVSC)

A power device of a ZVSC is turned on when its voltage becomes zero because
of the resonant oscillation. At zero voltage, the resonant current becomes maxi-
mum. The device remains on and supplies the load current. The switching period
must be long enough to complete the resonant oscillation.

EXAMPLE 10.5 FINDING THE PERFORMANCE OF A ZERO-VOLTAGE SWITCHING

INVERTER
A ZVSC is shown in Figure 10.14(a). The control voltage is shown in Figure 10.14(b).
The DC input voltage is Vs = 15 V. The switching frequency is fs = 2.5 kHz. Use
PSpice to plot the instantaneous capacitor voltage vc, the inductor current iL, the
diode current vDm, and the load voltage vL. Use a voltage-controlled switch to
perform the switching action.
