High-frequency high-efficiency resonant converter with class-EM inverter and class-E rectifier <Abstract> This paper proposes a resonant converter with the class-E_M inverter along with its design procedure. The proposed converter has the class-E_M inverter as an inverter part and the class-E rectifier as a rectifier part. By applying the class-E_M inverter, the proposed converter achieves high power added efficiency with low cost compared with the resonant converters with the class-E inverter. On the other hand, it is hard to determine the component values of the proposed converter for satisfying the ZVS/ZDVS and ZCS/ZDCS conditions simultaneously. By carrying out the circuit experiments, effectiveness of the proposed converter and?@validity of the design procedure are confirmed. |
