Claims
- 1. A zero-voltage-switched multi-resonant converter comprising:
- switching means operative in open and closed circuit positions;
- first resonant capacitor means in parallel with said switching means;
- rectifying diode means in series with said switching means, said rectifying means and said switching means forming a closed-loop;
- second resonant capacitor means in parallel with said rectifying diode means; and
- inductor means inserted in said closed loop for forming a resonant circuit with the first and second resonant capacitor means.
- 2. The converter of claim 1, wherein said rectifying diode means comprises a synchronous rectifier.
- 3. A zero-voltage-switched multi-resonant converter comprising:
- switching means operative in open and closed circuit positions;
- first resonant capacitor means in parallel with said switching means;
- rectifying diode means;
- second resonant capacitor means in parallel with said rectifying diode means; and
- inductor means for forming a resonant circuit with said first and second resonant capacitor means.
- 4. The converter of claim 3, wherein said inductor means is inserted in series with said first and second resonant capacitor means, such that a first terminal of said inductor means is connected to said first resonant capacitor means, and a second terminal of said inductor means is connected to said second resonant capacitor means.
