Abstract

A DC to DC converter having a simplified logic circuit with both zero voltage switch function and synchronous rectification function, including a transformer having a primary coil and a second coil, a first half-bridge switch coupled to one end of the primary coil, a second half-bridge switch coupled to the other end of the primary coil, a first synchronous rectifier coupled to one end of the second coil, a second synchronous rectifier coupled to the other end of the second coil. The switching between the first half-bridge switch and the second half-bridge switch is made through the leakage inductance of the transformer and the open of the first synchronous rectifier and the second synchronous rectifier is made by the coil resistance of the transformer.
