ABSTRACT:
A soft-switching DC to DC power converter which minimizes switching losses from a no load condition to a full load condition while operating at fixed frequency. Output voltage control is achieved by controlling the phase angle between the two switching networks. High frequency transformer primaries are always excited with a square wave input voltage equal to ##EQU1## The power converter can be implemented with a single transformer. Moreover, the switch voltage never increases the input DC voltage from no load to full load. The power converter can be used in both low voltage high current applications and high voltage low current applications.
