A new ZVS (zero-voltage-switching) snubber circuit suitable for high power boost converters used as power factor correction circuits used in AC-to-DC modules. The ZVS circuit comprises a main switch, an auxiliary switch, a load circuit, a reset circuit, a first diode, a blocking diode, and a first capacitor. The switches and the capacitor are connected in parallel. The circuit includes a blocking diode having an anode terminal connected to a drain terminal of the auxiliary switch and a cathode terminal connected to the reset circuit. At turn-off, the current tail of the main switch is taken over by the auxiliary switch. The ZVS circuit keeps the collector-emitter voltage of main switch almost zero, so that the turn-off loss is minimized. |
