A soft switching boost converter, with a small number of components and constant frequency control, is proposed herein by using the quasi-resonance method and the zero-voltage-transition method, realizing (1) the zero-voltage switching during the switch-on transient of the main switch, (2) the zero-current switching during the switch-off transient of the main switch, (3) the zero-current switching during the switch-on transient of the auxiliary switch, and (4) the zero-current switching during the switch-off transient of the auxiliary switch. Accordingly, the corresponding efficiency can be improved. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed structure are validated by the field programmable gate array (FPGA).
