An AC resonant test system is designed to generate high alternating voltage by forming a resonant circuit between the reactor and the test object. By operating at or near resonance, the system can ...

Quasi-resonant switching, compared to the traditional continuous and discontinuous modes of operation in a flyback converter, cuts turn-on losses at the power switch, thus increasing efficiency and ...

MUCH attention has been devoted to a study of the effects associated with periodic variation of inductive and capacitive elements (the energy-storage elements) of resonant circuits. The present ...

In the previous articles, we assumed that the descriptions of DC/DC converters were ideal, neglecting the effect of parasitic elements. Thus, it is important to note that inductors have capacitive and ...

The demands on power supplies have increased in recent years, which have resulted in the adoption of digital control as the latest trend in AC-to-DC and DC-to-DC power-conversion applications. Digital ...

Although tank circuit losses rise in proportion to 1/Q, the total amount of energy stored in the tank circuit drops—more rapidly—in proportion to Q 2. In other words, because much less energy is ...
