ZERO CURRENT SWITCHING CIRCUIT AND CONVERTING APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

A switching circuit can reduce switching power loss and can vary at least one of the switching frequency and the conduction rate of switching of the switching circuit with less dependency on a frequency of a resonating circuit. A converter unit employs the switching circuit for expansion of control range of an output voltage. A primary switching element forming the switching circuit is provided with a resonance circuit and an auxiliary switching element. With the auxiliary switching element, resonance operation is achieved. The switching circuit is applicable to switching portions of a DC-DC converter unit, an inverter or the like.
