    Abstract: To disclose several zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) power inversion circuits, a modified pulse-width modulation control scheme is employed. It includes two driver-signal pairs. Each pair has a near 50% duty ratio driver signal and a pulse-width modulation driver signal. Because the combination timing waveform of the two driver signals of each pair resembles to a letter T, the control scheme is thus briefly named as double T (TT) control. In addition to achieving zero-voltage switching performance for high frequency operation, the disclosed power inversion circuits can alleviate the potential shoot-through problem existed in phase-shift control full-bridge power inversion circuits. Consequently, reliability performance can be improved.

    Abstract: A soft-switching and low input current ripple inverter circuit is disclosed. It includes two paralleled dual-switch forward inverter circuits with a single transformer, two clamping diodes, and one coupling capacitor. It has voltage-clamping function on the switches with a lossless snubber at the turn-off instant and provides enough leakage energy to achieve zero-voltage switching operation with low input current ripple feature. Two set of the driver signals with 180 phase shift each other are used to control the switches of said first and second dual-switch forward inverters, respectively. Each set of driver signals includes one PWM signal (D) and one near 50% duty cycle driver signal. Employing the proposed inverter circuit, the switch's turn-on voltage can be reduced to half input voltage compared to its prior art circuits. Consequently, the switching losses are thus reduced and efficiency is improved, especially in light-load operation.

    Abstract: A circuit used to convert DC input to AC output comprises a transformer and three series sub-circuits. The first series sub-circuit is connected in parallel with the DC input and comprises first and second capacitors connected in series. The secondary series sub-circuit is connected in parallel with the DC input and comprises a first primary winding of the transformer, a clamping capacitor and a second primary winding of the transformer sequentially connected in series. The third series sub-circuit connected in parallel with said clamping capacitor and comprises first and second switches connected in series. The center nodes of the first and third series sub-circuits are connected together. Thus, while a secondary winding of the transformer provides AC voltage, the circuit is able to effectively reduce current ripple and decrease voltage stress on semiconductor switch with minimum component count. Similar topologies may be used for rectification instead of inversion.
