Application of IGT/COMFET to zero-current switching resonant converters
Abstract
The problems associated with IGT/COMFET devices in PWM converters, such as turn-off current tailing and turn-off latching, are largely avoided in a zero-current switching resonant converter. dv/dt induced phenomena, such as the power losses and latching, are identified as the predominant problems in using IGT/COMFET devices for very-high-frequency resonant operation.
