Analysis and design of a saturable reactor assisted soft-switching full-bridge DC-DC converter

摘要

Analysis and design considerations for a saturable reactor assisted soft-switching full-bridge DC-DC converter are presented. The converter has advantages such as low switching losses with no substantial increase in conduction losses, wide load range, and constant frequency operation. To show how to utilize the analysis results, a 350 W, 500 kHz converter is chosen as a design example. The results are verified experimentally on a prototype converter.
