Unlike conventional resonant concepts, the implemented soft-switching control eliminates input voltage dependent losses over a wide operating range. This ensures high efficiency across a wide range of Vin= 12-48V, 100-500mA load and 5V output at up to 15MHz switching frequency. The peak efficiency of the converter is 76.3 %. Thanks to the low output current ripple, the output capacitor can be as small as 50 nF, while the inductor tolerates a larger ESR, resulting in small component size. The proposed PRC architecture is also suitable for future power electronics applications using fast-switching GaN devices.
