Method and apparatus for extending a zero voltage switching (ZVS) range during power conversion. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a DC/DC converter, operated in a quasi-resonant mode, comprising a transformer; a primary switch, coupled to a primary winding of the transformer, for controlling current flow through the primary winding; and a component coupled to the transformer, wherein the component has a capacitance that varies with voltage across the component, and wherein during a downswing in voltage across the primary switch the component is passively tuned by a change in the voltage across the component that changes the capacitance of the component, and wherein the passive tuning of the component causes a resonant frequency of the DC/DC converter to change, and wherein the change in the resonant frequency causes the downswing to accelerate. |
