A novel ZVZCS isolated dual series-resonant active-clamp dc–dc converter is
proposed to obtain high efficiency. The proposed converter employs an active-clamp
technique, while a series-resonant scheme controls the output voltage with the complementary
pulse width modulation controller. The active-clamp circuit serves to recycle the energy
stored in the leakage inductance or the magnetizing inductance and provides zero-voltage and
zero-current turn-on and turn off switching. The voltage stresses of the main switch are
clamped. The voltage transient spikes across the dual series active clamp circuit and the
current stress of the current-fed side switches are limited by auxiliary active clamping circuits
on both sides, and ZVZCS is achieved. The operating principles and design considerations are
discussed and verified by simulations using PSIM software. Also, the EMI reduction
techniques from EMC point of view in the circuits related to converters has been pointed out.
