In a switching power supply the high frequency switching makes the passive components small, but the losses and the stresses of switches are increased by the switching frequency. Therefore, zero crossing switching technology using resonant is used to improve defect in high switching. In generally, zero crossing switching consists of Zero Current Switching(ZCS) and Zero Voltage Switching(ZVS).
In ZCS, voltage and overlapped current are almost zero, and there are no switching losses. When the switch is off, surge voltage is reduced because resonant inductance L_γ absorbs the parasitic inductance in switch. In ZVS, voltage of switches resonated sinusoidally at off and for voltage of switch is trasient in zero and switching losses is zero. Parasitic inductance and capacitance are absorbed in resonant state. Surge current and surge voltage are removed at on transient and at off trasient respectively. however, ZCS and ZVS can ve occured that load and input voltage are matched in come conditions Therefore, it has used two switching technique to switch in the wide-load range and the high frequency.
This paper proposes buck converter that uses new ZC-ZVS PWM control technique. Comparing with conventional ZVS PWM Converter, The proposed converter operates in the wide-load range. In hard load, this proposed converter operates like a conventional ZVS switching, but it operate like ZCS in light load. Simulation results using Pspice program about test circuit with rated 100W(20V, 5A) at 30KHz and experiment result under same condition were described in this paper.
