Resonant Power Converters: An Overview with Multiple Elements in the Resonant Tank Network

Finite commutation times are associated with the concurrent occurrence of both voltage-across and current-through semiconductor switches, leading to switching power losses. To alleviate them, soft-switching techniques have been developed. Soft-switching converters can be classified into quasi-resonant and multiresonant, resonant-transition, and resonant power converters (RPCs). This article focuse...
