“DC Transformer” DCX
Ultimate switched-mode power converter:
• Minimum possible voltage and current stresses on all
components
• Zero-voltage switching of all semiconductor devices
It is possible to approach the above by restricting the
conversion ratio to a single value, V/Vg = const., which leads to
the “DC transformer” or “DCX” or , g ,“unregulated DC-DC”
concept
DCX realizations
• Any hard switched or soft switched converter (e g ZVT)
operated at constant• Any hard-switched or soft-switched converter
(e.g. ZVT) operated at constant control (duty ratio or phase
shift), optimized for a single conversion ratio
• Single-ratio converters by design
